Well if you like fields that no one has ever heard of until they end up there, are you familiar with research administration? You could work in a university department or central office (I've done both) so you get to be close to academia. It requires the ability to long- and short-term plan, multitask like crazy, communicate clearly (especially in writing), maintain all kinds of files, constantly learn new guidelines, deal with a variety of electronic databases and systems, keep people out of jail, work easily with numbers, learn something new every day (seriously), put up with grumpy old professors and naive young grad students, translate gibberish into human speak, say "no" in an unlimited number of ways... it's sometimes crazy but never boring. :) And universities are often desperate for people to take these jobs. They were ideally looking for someone with 3-5 years experience to take my current position, but settled for me after 1 year.
