谁家孩子志在做standup comedian?

我觉的一个famous standup comedian is better than 10, or 100 Phds in, say, medicine.

Why?
1) a famous comedian can earn millions more,
2) a famous comedian can make people laugh and laughter is a best medicine
3) a famous comedian can be very effective in advancing his/her 'ethnecity'
4) a famous comedian can make other people think of Chinese as no longer so rigid, not able to laugh at ourselves
5) a famous comedian can inspire perception of other people etc etc

I would encourage my children to become one but I don't see the trait yet, but I am still hopeful...
