I had a roommate who is insanely good at chess, 1900 ish elo rating, top in my semester studying medicine, good a football and works on apps in his free time. I assumed it should be because he had the resources and not just the interest to pursue multiple fields. Turns out he has a hard to please dad who pressures him to be an exceptional genius so that he has bragging rights. So what reasons you guys had to persue multiple fields? Coz I don't think everyone has the same back story and obsession plays part too.
