What should I study?

[citrus_java]

I went to an academic thing, mostly just to be around people, and my favorite professor as well as some other people told me that it doesn't matter how passionate or good you are, doesn't matter in my case that I'm hopefully gonna graduate summa cum laude or that my research is appreciated, or that when I give lectures people come from other cities to participate and for years I've had full houses (not that I get paid) - there are literally no jobs about to open in years. I was told that doing a PHD is more just for the joy of the experience, and the head of the department seriously suggested opening a window cleaning business like some person she knows. My favorite professor was less horrible and said that that's the reason she sitched to studying law, but I seriously cannot see myself getting through that, I hate that field, and I don't feel I can deal with the atmosphere in that department.

So hey, any suggestions of a field for me, in which there might actually be any academic teaching positions ever, for a driven abnormal person?
I'm serious.

You know me a little. I need it o be something I can be passionate about if I can be good at it.
