Pinky on Professions

I have always been an advocate of a liberal arts education as the foundation for the ability to creatively and critically approach life as well as provide a sustainable income that doesn't involve the phrase "Do you want fries with that". As a double-major in English/Political Science, certainly my career can provide evidence to support that one can be successful outside of teaching and law with that type of background. I have held leadership positions in mostly the information technology field and have (written oh so modestly) at some points made some significant income. HOWEVER, whether it is midlife crisis or just early morning career frustration, I find myself pondering the options again. Outside of a think tank, what options are there for somebody who wants to read and think all day? Is there a publishing house in the PNW that would allow me to comb the slush pile for the next Great American Novel? Can I do that remotely? What if, as the hubs suggests, I start posting book reviews on the blog?
