Why not do something different then? After 31 years I think you deserve that if you want it.

  Unfortunately I have family members that are dependent on my salary and benefits. It is the difference between what I want to do, and what I have to do. I guess the main rub is 99% of everything I have designed, built, patented, launched, tested and busted my butt for, is no longer in existence. But, on the other hand, the things I have done has gotten us to a point in technology where we are today; both good and bad.

    Underrated comment. If you have responsibilities beyond yourself, and a less than 100% enjoyable job is the best way to service those responsibilities, its exceptionally hard to walk away. The unknowable is how low the percentage needs to drop from 100% enjoyable before you realize you are slowly dying. I have a lot more respect for how tired my father was now, that's for sure.

      > I have a lot more respect for how tired my father was now, that's for sure. 100% agree with you on this.
