When you are caught in a job you don't much like, time flies, but you are time poor. But may have some money.

I have been out of work for a long while, and family uses up lots of time. But I have always suffered with balance, programming entirely consumes me, and I ebb and flow with it. I feel totally disconnected and disenchanted with it and have no money and lots of debt.

And have no job security or fallback. Given a good manager and the right position I could happily amble along and be a useful asset.

But I am very disillusioned with web work and the industry. And I think web programming is a tremendously wasteful brain drain.

However if I had money and time, my perspective would be totally different!
