If I was starting with such a broad set of interests and evidence that I will come to find almost anything rewarding -- honestly I'd think about who is served by the work I'm doing and whether it allows me to live in a location I like comfortably by whatever definition you use for that.
Consider working with a non-profit, your breadth of interest can be a huge benefit to a small team. Small teams often lack the headcount to realize when they have a problem with a simple alternative or how to tackle certain kinds of more specialized problems like surveys or non-profit taxes or heck, when I was a kid I remember learning to typeset newsletters because no one else really knew how... like any underfunded small team you have to fill in the gaps as well as you can.
Stuff that you find trivial might seem unattainable to others there and a breadth of experience can provide a lot of context and research directions that would otherwise be missed. And if it serves a social good that you care about all the better.
