I don’t know about you, but I always get a bit of that puzzly feel when I am confronted with unstructured data that I need to process and maybe evaluate statistically.
So if you want to turn this into money, maybe a few basic online learning resources on statistics should get your foot in the door with employers. Then think of which companies in your area might have to deal with raw data (think lots of customer interaction, or also environmental agencies, insurance companies, man, gotta be lots) and just apply to your dream company even if they have no offers posted. Often there are open positions they don’t advertise. And a programmer with statistical knowledge (don’t be humble) and initiative should usually find some attention.
