Miner cum Evangelist

I'm involved in actively mining data, maintaining production models and developing new ones for much of the time. It's also my job to research new ways of deploying Data Mining technologies to solve real-world business problems, and communicate it effectively to others within the organisation and external clients. I believe these two roles complement each other.

Am I the only one whose role would best be described as "hobbyist"? Not employed to mine data, never studied it in school, just interested in the subject and its applications? Data mining for fun vs. profit?
