You missed one: You and a few other reasonably sane types start your
own company.  Of course, in this case you may still have to "hit the
street" despite being happy about your "Dilbert Factor".  Also, it is
likely that over time, if you _are_ successful, your Dilbert Factor
will go up and at the end of the day you will still be screwed.
Still, by then, you may be lucky enough to leave and never have to
think about this stuff ever again (fingers crossed!!)

In the current devolution of the internet, and news in particular, nothing
can possibly be off topic anywhere...
