The only time I have an issue with it is when I hear children saying they want to be famous as if it was a career. I recently read a report on-line that outlined some statistics about the number of children aged 12 who said they wanted to be 'famous' when they grew up. I am kicking myself now as I can't find it so I can't quote the right figures but it was a decent size sample and the figures where around the 40% to 50% mark. Now that I can live with, they still have a lot of growing up to do, the bit I struggled with was that the number 1 reason for wanting to be famous was that you "got loads of money without having to work" (I paraphrase). That worries me..........
Mind you, I struggle with the fact a singer or footballer can earn more in a week than a doctor earns in a year so maybe it's me with the problem.........
