A musician might.
There aren't that many professions were a decent piece of work that makes one person happy can scale up to make a million people happy with minimal marginal effort.
- TillE 14y agoExcellent example. Most famous rock musicians aren't extraordinarily talented at playing their instruments - Richard Wright of Pink Floyd couldn't even read sheet music. Jimmy Page is quite a sloppy guitarist. Pure technical ability is a dime a dozen. Check YouTube for a zillion teenagers who can play shred guitar as well as anyone. But inspired creativity is rare and valuable, and execution requires only a certain level of technical ability, not mastery.
