My cousin left the field of chemical engineering after getting his masters and earning good money because he found he couldn't work with chemicals any more. So he moved up to God's Country, bought a log splitter, and makes very nice custom built log cabin houses. Some he builds for folks who have absolutely stupid amounts of money. Which is a roundabout way of saying what shesus says - something will fall into place when you ignore the box you think you've been in.
I like the idea of Jazz's - get some sort of certificate and start Skype counseling your poly-pals across the land and maybe even world wide. Create your own web presence, make a masterful site that generates huge traffic and see what you can put in it that allows you to sell your writings or accept donations to further help the cause for polys, transgenders, you name it. Get a long-distance plan and major broadband, insist that your clients call you after a rigorous email documentation that does the introductory legwork for you and lays their issues out as they see them. Get payment via credit cards and paypal.
Create your niche based on your strengths and interests and make it work. After all, Arnold Schwarzenegger did exactly that when he moved to the States and look what he's managed to do. That last sentence is
not facetious. The man created a niche for himself in Hollywood - there really was no place for a German muscle man who spoke halting English - he applied his smarts and now is Governor of California.
