Put all your professional skills to work for yourself. Think and research and plot out optional paths. Make pro and con lists and take an honest, searching look at each of the kinds of things you could do.

For example:

What if I aim for early retirement at age X and aggressively save so that I can take an optional path early?

What if I find meaningful outlets in my personal life which will meet some of these alternative needs while still following my career path?

What if I find a way to morph my professional career in a direction that would be more fulfilling - lateral move, same career but different company or location, etc.?

Best of luck, OP!

OP here

The lists and planning and evaluating options is exactly what I have been doing...although I shouldn't be doing that, because I shouldn't even be contemplating changing my life at all. (Thus you see my problem.) I am definitely doing the honest, searching, look bit, so thanks for that...at least I am partially on the right track?? As I indicated above I am not the type to follow through immediately on hasty decisions; not without at least a semi-solid game plan backing me up, anyway!

If I dumped all of my assets, I could retire as soon as I jettisoned everything, but the proceeds of such a wholesale sell-off would not last forever, and I would be dropped like a hot potato from the company pension. Plus, if I jettisoned everything, I would have...nothing...and so would have to start again. So it is a catch-22 definitely.

My job honestly is my dream job and I am not at all dissatisfied with it. I am just dissatisfied with the fact that I might not be able to enjoy the fruits of my job once it's over and done with, except for a very limited amount of vacation time each year. :-(
