3. A Musician
As with the case of arts and performing arts, a career in music is filled with long periods of struggle and uncertainty. A musician can go about almost his entire life writing songs and performing at small gigs without a single major breakthrough. However, fame is sometimes just a song or a performance away. Thanks to the internet, videos and performances can potentially go viral and get a million hits overnight. Singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes became famous for his short covers of popular songs. Success and a million dollars can just be a video or a reality show away.
