I design the majority of the electronics for my company and pretty much all the firmware as well.

Wages are not bad for the area i'm in, which is fairly rural, but could be a lot better for the work involved. Move to a big city would probably help but I like the quieter lifestyle.

I've not done any web development full time for close 20 years, first started writing JSP code. Dabbled with a few personal website designs since then. I'm sure if I went back to web development, it may pay more but I don't think it would have the same level of job satisfaction for me. I try to keep up to date on some of the technologies used but it seems overwhelming from the outside.

Part is resistence to change, but I do find the work for the most part enjoyable so it's a risk to change jobs as well.
