[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you aren't putting more energy into finding a better job.  It seems your current job situation is a source of significant dissatisfaction.  If you had a more rewarding job, you'd likely find yourself less apt to 'escape' your current situation by going back to school.[/quote]

Maybe the grad school idea is a transitional approach. At least you can keep the current job while preparing yourself to jump to a different career. Maybe you're feeling uncomfortable about your ability to move to another job right now?

I agree with other posters that grad school is an expensive, time-consuming proposition that is going to affect your family more than you seem to realize. I did my master's degree while working full time. I had to cut back on family activities quite a lot. If your wife is opposed, then going forward with grad school becomes a family problem.

But two other primary issues are that you seem to feel not only unfulfilled but also concerned about your long-term prospects relating to your current job.

Other posters might be right about mid-life crisis playing into this scenario. That doesn't mitigate the real (according to you) underlying issue of job security.
