Been there several times. But with a current salary over $140k and a large family I have no idea where to start over without cutting back so far that it would massive disruptive repercussions. Management? Recruiting? Something illegal? I have been so awesome with computers for so long I've gotten so highly paid at it -- and yet I HATE technology and computers. Where is the off-ramp?

Sitting constantly for so many hours is also killing me
