GLC, you might like working in a role like the people who work for my DH. They are all engineers, most with master's or doctorates. But, they are application engineers, who support and work with the sales staff for a software company. They need to keep up in their field, but they also have to have people skills, something which has not exactly been easy for DH to find. They get paid very well, although they do travel some.
Just a thought.
