Yeah, that's a big issue with changing careers, as the only income for the family I need to approach changes more carefully. And I like being able to spend so much time with my kids.

Bored probably isn't the best word. Maybe I should say dissatisfied instead, although that doesn't fit either. My wife knows how I feel and has been pushing me to go back to school for something else. I enjoy math and in looking around for something I found the aog website about a year ago. I have been reading through it and their newsletters ever since and find I enjoy it. I know the grass isn't always greener and I don't expect it to be.
Funny story, last year my MIL was taken to the hospital, the wife had to leave the country on short notice so I took the kids to work with me one day. The day after my older son comes to me and very seriously says to me "Dad, no offense, but your job is really boring". I had to laugh at that and told him it was the mental stimulation that made my job enjoyable. There just doesn't seem to be as much anymore. There are only so many times you can explain to someone that they need to install the intermediary CA's, or the ALG is not configured correctly etc. Yes, you do need to establish a secure connection to receive a SIP call.
