I find so many things interesting but I can only read about so many things and even then.. I get depressed because I can't really do anything with the information I find out.
For example, I just watched all the mad max movies recently. I love that series. So I started reading about car engines, petrol as a chemical, etc.
I found it very interesting.. okay good, now what? I can't really apply this knowledge and do anything with it.
Basically, I hate gaining knowledge and not being able to use it. How do I develop the knowledge I pursue into active hobbies?
Just the other day I read about metallurgy but I will never be able to do it. Read about peat bogs and furnaces and shit. Interesting stuff but in reality.. what the fuck am I going to do with knowledge about peat bogs and furnaces?

Worldbuilding is a great hobby with a lot of different aspects. It's a great motivator for researching and learning about stuff, be it political, cultural, learning about climates, too many things to list really, but all the stuff you research directly transfers to building a more interesting and believable world.

You basically brainstorm and create your own fantasy world and fill it with cultures and civilizations that you've created, drawing inspiration from real world history. You can draw maps, draw characters from your world, do some kind of creative writing, like poetry from your in-world characters, or just do some descriptive writing about some element of your world, it can be anything. And the best part is that since there are so many different aspects to the hobby, you can hop around to another aspect when you get bored. And, like I said, it involves a whole lot of research. You could, for example, research and learn about some way a real world civilization organized their government, put some creative spin on it, then write a description of it.
OP what is your job?
