My overall happiness was so much better when I was working for my university's pharmacy school making websites about where to find Naloxone and heroin overdose info than currently at my huge engineering firm company making twice as much. I'd love to find a job doing simple web development for a nonprofit.

Split time. Get a side gig. I have a friend who spends 4 days a week at the dental school fixing catastrophic oral pathology problems for the uninsured, and gets paid a pittence. He spends one day a week at a posh private clinic and pays all the bills for the month in the first week of the month. The following 3-4 days of posh work in the month fund everything else.

I've been there and the grass isn't always greener.
