Well, do you mean amateur as in NPC, or amateur as just competing for so-called natural federations (NANBF, INBF, NABBA, etc). I would think the people that compete in the latter shows are probably not as "obsessed" as people in the NPC. Most of the people that do the latter shows probably have normal jobs and compete in natural shows as a hobby. I would hope that they would not consider competing in a NANBF show as a job! As for the top amateur level NPC competitors, they might be a burden to date :::shrugs:::
