I teach students putting together portfolios and trying to get jobs. There's a lot of reasons why a lot of people never do anything with art degrees. When they go asking people to consider them, they can try 100 times before getting one chance. You aren't your profession and it's possible to enjoy things outside of work though. If that's a closet, I guess this is the same as a fetish haha... well it is to some, but you don't have to share with people who will do their own interpretation if it doesn't suit you.
