I ask because perhaps identifying skills you apply in your hobbies may help you find jobs where such skills are needed, jobs that might not totally suck. Working with computers, for example, involves a skillset that many people don't have.

You don't have to profit from your hobbies right away or at all. Hobbies at least keep someone mildly content regardless of the job.

There's this book called What Color is Your Parachute. Eh. It's real value is drafting a self-inventory of your needs, preferences, and work abilities. I like to work on this when I'm unhappy at a job. That way I can slowly create opportunities. It takes time but it's been helpful on keeping me focused.
