I disagree completely about the "...paid way too much" thing. I believe you are suffering from a loss of memory regarding how much you had to learn in order to get so good at what you do that it's trivial. That kind of knowledge takes a long time to acquire and many people simply don't have the ability to get there. Also, It's a supply and demand thing. Universities everywhere are turning out highly capable waiters and waitresses. But coders are always in demand. Especially in the foundation arts like Java, C#, HTML, CSS, MVC server architectures, etc.. DON'T DOWNPLAY YOUR SKILLS!
