Has your obsessions ever landed you a successful job or career where your now earning a decent living? I've had many particular obsessions that have lasted almost my whole lifetime, however, none of these have actually seemed to help me find a job in that field of interest. Has this been the case with you too?

I'm still in college, but I am serious about weight training and fitness. I plan on turning that into a career as a personal trainer. So, it hasn't gotten me a job yet but it has added direction to my life. My other obsession is Doctor Who, but I don't think being a whovian will help me get a job lol.

I'm successful as a Wolfman, though I don't obsess over it.

Good luck on your career as a personal trainer! :)

Not yet but I am still obsessing and making some kind of progress. It could all go tits up thought, in a big way.

I'm a Wolfman who howls in the New York City subways. I make a living as a civil-servant. I hunt food in supermarkets.
