50.000 is decent, and since it's "scraos of work" you are hopefully not putting in too many hours

80.000 and burning out is not good obviously

How about moving to where the jobs are? Depending on your profession it could be in very high demand as less as 300 miles away

Getting the engineering degree would not be a bad call, if you have the stomach for school and all that.
Also, since you have work-experience, you will be the kind of employee that companies want because you already know how to use your hands and brains in real life.

Also, it's not so much of risk doing that, because you always have your old profession to fall back on if you should drop out, or have trouble getting hired after you finish the education.

Another thing is that many companies have leadership positions filled by people that don't have a degree, but have real experience, and are promoted naturally due to their skills and leadership ability, sometimes companies even pay for an academy education (it's called in my country) in leadership or project management or economy, if they think their employee has potential.
