It's easy to hate on McDonald's, but this is a company that actually does a fantastic job of responding to their critics. They have changed their packaging, updated the design of their restaurants, eliminated trans-fats from the

I think the difference is that at medium-large companies there are plenty of technical career paths that don't require a person to actually code - business analyst, QA, documentation, compliance, project manager, etc. So people at a pl

Well.. The OP did say that he is "nearly 40" so I'm assuming the "absolute worst case scenario" involves driving his family into financial ruin. At least, that's my excuse for not pursuing more fulfilling work.
