    Still can't shake the feeling that society is missing a designated slot for an entire category of people that I belong to.

    They tell you to keep your passion as a hobby, but that's like marrying someone for practical reasons and having a affair on the side. Everyone knows that such arrangements don't work out on the long term.

    There's a slot for people who do what I do, *if* you're good at sales and networking, and that's the problem. I'm a generalist, but not to that extent.

      The "keep it as a hobby" answer is what they'll give you if you go to the government employment agency and try to explain your problem to them, and I already know that this arrangement doesn't make me happy. My personality is too obsessive for that to work.
