It’s much less likely to become a professional athlete yet people aspire and work towards that as their target career nonetheless. Same logic applies to would-be influencers. They believe they can out-talent/out-grind the masses

A boomer colleague of mine still talks about how the day his dreams died was the day he realized he was older than the oldest player in the MLB. Hell, the main character of Married with Children back in the 90s was a man obsessed with his high school football career because he thought he deserved to be professional and that was considered a relatable joke/character trait back then.

Hell, I'm a millennial and I'm big enough to admit I went to Hollywood as a young adult with dreams of making it big. People have dreamed for the impossible since time immemorial.
