Much the same here.

I’ve mentioned before that I used to be a computer programmer. But I was self taught. So that meant I could only get hired for work that ‘real programmers’ felt was beneath them.

Still, I tried to get at the good stuff, and annoyed the hell out of my employers. This lead to constants complaints about me not being a ‘team player’. Which eventually made me unhireable.

As John Ralston Saul points out, we live in a ‘rational society’. And in a rational society a lot of people don’t fit in because they don’t fit into the nice, neat grid of that society.
