That's what's weird about much of the esoteric stuff, unless you work in a museum or at a university, not much real world application. It's often important to have people to research new techniques, as R&D is very expensive.

However, the liberal arts professors have the toughest time finding real world applications.

Psychologists, sociologists and the like can find useful applications.
