I've got skills and I'm the best at what I do. I'm tired of being a technician and I hated being a manager. I hated the staff and staffing component of management. I enjoyed the projects and interdepartmental interaction and budget responsibilities of management.
I'm tired of answering to other people. I don't feel important to myself (I'm not trying to feel important to other people).
What's my way out of this scenario?

You can always go to "BK" and flip burgers??
Seriously, any part of being a manager is going to have personnel issues so you're pretty well stuck there, but you can always try to start a new career.
Go back to school and earn a new degree in birdwatching...this is what I did.
retired military, got tired of turning wrenches after 20+ yrs, went got my degree.

If you really want out go with the advice of Donald Trump and look for a great network marketing company that you can really feel good about and that has a good sturdy foundation. Then keep putting up with the bull for 2-10 more years, this number depends on you and how hard you work at changing your life. I am doing this now and the company I love is great at making you feel important and self improvement. Anyone who tells you you can be free or get rich in this way is feeding a line of bull. It takes work, but for far fewer years than if you work for someone else or start your own business from ground floor. I am proud to say " I work when I want, where I want, and with whom I want, and I love what I do the the people I work with!" If you really want to change your life email me and I will give you some web sites to look at where they will NOT ask for your name, email, phone number, or address (this is very important to me). Good luck.

Personally, I think he has been STUCK IN his midlife crisis for the last 40 years! Get a LIFE Hugh! Leave the 23 year olds to their college boyfriends. Your taking up with a woman young enough to be your great-granddaughter only makes you look like an old fool!

Mid-life, I'm guessing you're in your early 50's, maybe late 40's. My advice would be to take up an investment gig on the outside. I started buying houses when I was in my early 20's, learning quite early out of graduate school that working for a big conglomeration wasn't going to cut it for me. I am not a registered principal and make pretty good $$ from the company I work with but have no aspirations of being the president as I'm enjoying the outside real estate investing I do, it's what keeps me flying high. My normal job keeps me in excellent health insurance . . .
that's what I would suggest. You sound like one of the quality people we have at our work, I hate to see such people get frustrated.

Look for a different job in your spare time. You need a carreer change.
