If you want to stick with technical work (not just management) you may want to look into Education or, as a last resort, Government. I've been programming at a science lab for about 10 years. The "deadlines" are easy and I don't have PHBs breating down my neck all of the time. Getting decent pay can be a problem and usually requires an in-demand advanced degree. You'll want to research what specific institutions are looking for and paying and if necessary plan ahead (e.g. I had to go back to school for a few years and get an MSCS).
Update: added missing word 'at'.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
