I don't even know where to start... this person got free undergrad. This person wants to get paid to muse and be curious. This person doesn't want to move for work. This person wants to complain that fairy tales didn't come true.

I'm probably being a royal prick... but welcome to life. If you thought any of this was a possibility in the late 20th century OR AT ALL in the 21st century... I feel bad for you. You were hoping for something that died decades ago.
