>>Will it get me another job? ... If you can’t understand why I don’t waste my energy on doing seven balls overhead for a minute to make a youtube video for people to watch, then you haven’t entered the real world yet.

Resuming:

If you are at the top in one hierarchy that doesn't reward you according to your position, what should you do?

a) Stay and struggle (even with some niceties ex:social status).

b) Move to the bottom of another hierarchy where there's plenty to everybody (but where you don't have the skill or the passion to move up).

There exists a continuum of possibilities between those extremes.

You can do anything, but not everything - David Allen

I tried during last years (I'm also dealing with this problem) to be somewhere in the middle of this 2 solutions but doesn't work. To be in the top of one hierarchy (and get the niceties) you need focus. Nowadays to that continuum of possibilities I would call indecision.
