Default Help me find a job

-I was making $50 / hour at poker before the legislation, but now I only make $15 / hour.

-I have a family in Austin, Tx and can't move.

-I graduated from MIT with a masters in nuclear engineering and a B.S. in physics in Jan 05.

-I have a web company that basically makes enough to live off of, but it's tight.

I'm pretty embarrassed to be looking for a job actually. I have no idea what I'm looking for. I'd probably rather take a $40k job that is much lower stress than a $60k job. Maybe I should get some recruiter to find a job for me? Any ideas?

lol, $50 per hour as a poker player

You'd be making more than that with job stability as a Nuclear Engineer
