Have you heard of coworking spaces? N people from N different companies (typically their own startups) come together in a cheap space to share cheaper fixed costs, and in the process, network. You don’t have to be from a startup. I’ve worked with everybody from governmental aides to journalists to video game devs. The spaces tend to be open with work done at long conference tables in modern open floor plans. Look: cubicles are for cattle. If your job will let you, skip that shit. If it doesn’t, chances are you haven’t found the right employer.
You could also become a digital nomad. The easy way is to just fuck off and leave the States (I assume bc GI bill ref). You can tramp around EU for 90 days without getting deported, no questions asked. If after 90 days you’re still unsatisfied, you could move onto Asia. The cost of living in EU is far cheaper than it is here, so if you can manage to just stash your stuff in a Pod for awhile, you’ll basically be on the level cost wise.
Why do this? You can keep the lucrative job (assuming you can find a good place to take meetings). You can force yourself to meet new people, you can absorb culture, and you can probably find a coworking/coffee shop in most cities.
