I've made great money, I like my work, but the truth is the truth - any career in high technology manages you, you don't manage it.

I'd disagree here that you have to accept this. Being asked to learn a new technology or figure out a gadget isn't the same as choosing to move to a new employer. You can manage your career, you can choose to learn what you want, or develop the skills that you want in the long term. Perhaps not the short term, but over a few years you can change your direction.

I still believe you should be thinking about what you want and make steps to move in that direction.
