You've really thrown yourself into learning about this place. Could you use that for a profession somehow? I think it's a pity this place doesn't have some kind of welcoming committee to explain how things here work, instead of putting the responsibility on friends and family who might not even exist for someone showing up here. I don't know how you'd get paid to do that, without asking the Entity to make it a position.
Maybe things in the future loosen up a little. The arc of progress and all.
