The only job in the world that...

"There is no other job in the world that when you go to an interview they ask  'Your production work is okay but do you have any cool animations you've been working on in your spare time that we can see?'. Why is the expectation that you have to eat/sleep/animate 24/7 just to get by in this industry? Image that you are a Doctor and the interviewer asked you in an interview 'So do you have any examples of open heart surgery that you've done in your spare time, like in the street on some homeless guy?' or an accountant 'Your business accounts seems to be in order, but I really want to see how you tackle your home expenses.' Apparently animators get judged by very different rules.
