You're not happy with your job. You don't like what you do. Worse, nothing out there in the job market that appeals to you. The final kicker is that of all the jobs you've heard of none may appeal to you. You've got all this energy and skills but nothing out there is what you want to do.
So let me suggest, my fellow progeek, that maybe it's time to invent an entirely new job.

Customer Service.
As I noted previously, many fandom activities are run like businesses – conventions, websites, etc. They may not make money, of course – they may not be intended to – but they are like businesses in almost all regards. Thus they are very educational to work on because you learn good business sense.
