Being Famous or Being a Lawyer?

Ok, this is a serious question for the people looking from the outside in on my life. Ok I've been singing in my church choir for years every since I was about seven years old. When I was nine I said that I wanted to be famous. So singing has been on the one end. In my teen years I never really took it seriously but I sent out pics to an agency in NY they said that if my talent was as good as my looks, then I could maybe have a spot in people's hearts. I love to sing, it's fun. Like pop, gospel, and R&B. And then there's this other dream lived by the realistically side of me being a Lawyer. I think studying Law is wonderful and I could really change some lives. And you really have to use your mind and that is very exciting to me. I'm currently in a State University studying Political Science. And I have one more year before I take the LSAT and maybe go on with Law School. My girlfriend is going to Yale University and I'm stuck at a State University and that makes me want to strive for the top schools. Of course my parents want me to focus on the school stuff because we are pretty sure that I could end up somewhere. I like both but for ME getting into an Ivy League would require me to study for hours Daily. UGH! But the outcome of both is something that I like. With Fame I only have a few years and I'm already 21. You never have good Fame for Long. I had my fortune read(what a fucking bummer) and they said that I sit around wishful thinking and that I will be successful but very unhappy(never will go that route again). (Tell me what you think) But if I become a Lawyer I wont have to worry about putting my family in the light and revealing skeletons like they do everyone else. People in school know me for my tunnel vision on International/Corportate Law, but My Family knows the Nick that wants to be Globally Famous. Is wanting to be a famous singer stupid even if you have the qualities? Give me what you got! Even the dumb responses! I'm sure I can take something from them.
