I feel totally undervalued financially and intellectually in acadamia.

I'm was considering calling this a sunk cost and moving on but based on the comments here, I think I'll stick it out and try to develop on the side.

This is the first time I've really lost interest in my work. It's really hard to work on something you don't care about.

And other career or life advice?

Thanks for the words.
