Sounds like you are looking at this from too desperate a perspective. How about hanging in at the mad house for as long as you can take it to build up a nice nut, then quit and hike a bit, re-aquaint with your parents, get laid, blah, blah. Then go look for some work that might actually be fun. With the nest egg already laid, and some time for it to grow, employment could be on your terms. If you find that significant other you mention and, particularly, if kids result, it might be nice to have some income to let the SWR build up a bit more than the bare bones 28K level. Heck, at 29 you won't even have worked enough to get social security.
