I ran into the same kind of thing during the dot-bomb, and luckily got recruited into a non-profit foundation. Things have never been better. Not only do I get to geek out on cool technology but my skills get used to support an organization which's bottom line is making a difference in the world, and not, say, making the phone company more money! The satisfaction level is worth the pay cut, and this sector is in dire need of technology experts of all kinds.
