One other thing... If you can afford to do it, and there are no other
options jumping out at you, consider tweaking your focus a bit and
applying your skills toward a role you might enjoy more. I keep
"threatening" to leave to corporate grind for a life of brewing, but I
have 2 kids at home (one going to college in a few years) and a
mortgage to feed. But if there's an interest of yours that you can
apply your skills toward and enjoy it - and make a living doing it -
why not? As long as you can pay the bills, why not do what makes you
happy?
