A famous criminal would be interesting

If you're a famous criminal then you're doing a bad job lol.


As for other careers:

Astronaut
Athlete
Critic
Culinary
Doctor
Entertainer
Painter
Politician
Scientist
Social Media
Tech Guru
Writer

You also have to take into consideration the branches though. For example, A charity organizer in the Politician branch would have no reason to be famous.



If you can become famous from having a high skill, these are the skills I could see being reasonably famous for:

Archaeology
Baking
Comedy
Cooking/Gourmet Cooking
Dancing
Dj Mixing
Guitar
Logic
Painting
Photography
Piano
Pipe Organ
Programming
Rocket Science
Singing
Video Games
Violin
Writing.


Although I hope it is optional. I hope there are OPPORTUNITIES to become famous with the above skills, not forced into it.

You could be a famous criminal -- or maybe infamous is the better term. Think of some of the big name mob bosses in real life and in the movies -- they skirt the edges of the law so they don't get busted, staying one or two steps ahead of the legal system.

I noticed you left off Secret Agent from your list -- you could have a James Bond or Austin Powers type agent, depending if you go more towards the serious or the comedic type of agent. Secret agent doesn't always require anonymity or being undercover; sometimes it's just the ability to ferret out information from numerous sources, like doing investigations on the computer and such. There are also a lot more skills -- you could specialize in fitness and wellness and become a noted Health Guru, dispensing exercise and healthy eating advice (just don't let anyone see you eating those glazed donuts!).

Why wouldn't Charity Organizers have a need to be famous? You might need a certain level of fame to deal with bigger celebrities to get them to cough up the Simoleons for your projects, for example, or maybe even to get them to make a public appearance in order to attract donors. I have a casual friend who owns a talent booking business and does a lot of bookings for charity events (celebrities showing up for golf tournaments and such); he's a former major league baseball player and has been able to use his moderate fame (mostly on the local level; he played for one of the local teams back in the 1980s) to attract retired athletes to sign up with his agency as well as to get clients to hire folks from his agency. I don't want to see any restrictions on who can and can't, or who should or shouldn't, become a celebrity.
