description The working elite - whether lawyers, investment bankers, strategy consultants or auditors – is prone nowadays to particularly intensive work rates to the point of “living to work”. The artistic elite is similarly characterised by the way it commits itself “body and soul”. The article compares the forms and roles that these commitments assume in two groups that seem so opposite to one another, based on two field studies of Big Four auditing firm consultants and Paris Opera Ballet dancers. It reveals that intensive commitment relies less on economic motives or passion than on professional socialisation processes that seem similar and specific to elite groups.
