The tech world is crazy. I have a friend who has worked at Oracle for 14 years now, and was so sick and tired of it that he volunteered to be laid off last month (I guess they did a huge sweep of layoffs). He was depressed alot, but made a ton of money. In his words "My severance package is gonna allow me to live for a few years without working" Must be nice! I wish I had that kind of backing, I would be stoked! Hmmm maybe I will talk him into starting his own sort of business.
