I can't add anything of value to this discussion but I did want to say that sometimes you can find a job that fits, I am an Electrical Engineer for the USDA Forest Service (read beautiful outdoor time.) And sometimes you have to make your own fit as my nephew who graduated this year as an EE in technology. He has used home construction to put him through school, is in final stages of getting his contractors license, focusing on high-end low voltage home controls. (Now that I think about it, I need to tell him about this site.)
