I view myself as a generalist and have looked for jobs accordingly but I've found that specialists tend to be skeptical that anybody can be a generalist or that somebody who has done low level C for a few years since college could be capable of branching out into something else. I also have lots of interests other than writing code and those interests have been more intense in recent years because those things always ebb and flow for me. When it comes to jobs, as long as its remote, the pay's reasonable and there's no unreasonable working conditions or anything particularly objectionable about what the code is used for, I'm fine with doing just about anything (I do prefer working on some things over others, of course). Regardless of the difficulties you face being a generalist, I couldn't imagine ever being a specialist. Doing the same thing over and over again is boring and feels like a waste of potential. But the modern world is built around specialists who are supposed to outsource their thinking on everything outside of their specific specialty to somebody else who specializes in that area or summarizes the opinions of the people they consider experts in the area.
