You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.
A new career opportunity . . . . ? Actually, I’ve done this (still do) and it doesn’t feel like work. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to look for?
