Top 100 pro golfer? Good money, better quality of life, culture, and career length.

NBA starter? Fame, great money, can make it and get out at 35 and be set...

Top 25 tennis player: Fame, decent money, done at 31 most likely. Very mentally stressful.

Baseball: can be a long strange journey, very long season, great money if you get minted. Can make your career with 2 great seasons.

NFL: Unless you are 1 of the 32 starting QBs or career backup QB, punter, or one of the better kickers... tough to justify the physical risk for the average career length.

NHL: tough call, don't know enough about the salary.

Pro Soccer in Europe: If you are European or S. American I assume this is #1 so ill leave it at that.
