I know of one guy who got burned out on corporate IT and opened a game store. Several years later, each year being just as close to bankruptcy as the previous, he realized it was the corporate BS he was burned out on, not programming per se, and he would have been far better off looking for a different way to earn money with his programming skills, but by that time it was too late, he was too committed to the game store to switch. I recommend taking a few weeks off to chill out, relax, get the corporate BS out of your system, then think about less BS-intensive ways to earn money with your skills. Even if you have to take a big pay cut, you'll probably take an even bigger one switching professions at this stage.
