I've been an account manager (and non-technical project manager) for an agency for 9+ years. I have been quite successful at it. I've gained and retained many large clients and made plenty of money for my employer in the process! That in turn has kept my paycheck coming in consistently, so I'm pretty happy overall. But I do sometimes have dreams of doing my own thing. I have often wondered if I could offer my account management services independently to a handful of freelance engineers and make enough money to sustain myself. It doesn't sound too incredibly different from what you are talking about. I could also see myself being very good at weeding out the recruiters that don't fit my clients needs. Edit: I should clarify that the agency I work for is full service and we handle web projects all the way from design through development. So I have a fairly in depth understanding of tech, just not a hacker per se.
