I made a pretty good pile of money during  the dot-com boom but I need to stay busy.  I've been doing so via IT work for the last 30 years to which I note: I'm really really tired of the multi-hour commute, and I'm really really tired of having to re-invent my career every year.  What I want is to do anything for anything that doesn't involve commuting and where I can expect to know what it is I'm going to do tomorrow.  Unfortunately my home town consists largely of the county courthouse, a hospital, and homes that commuters live in.  If you're not a doctor, lawyer or nurse, you commute or flip burgers.  Actually I wouldn't mind the latter but I'm "over qualified".
