Yeah my work load's light compared to most (I don't even put on my steel-toes most days), and I have good job security due to offensively low starting pay meaning we're chronically understaffed (used to be pretty good when I started but hasn't increased in a decade+). Anecdotally, the only people I know making "good" money are programmers, but about half of them hate it.
If you've got any sort of computing background, might be worth looking into learning to hack and getting into bug bounty programs. Programming is a useful skill, but hacking is way more useful where we're heading.
Nahamsec is a pretty decent youtuber on the topic. He just did a beginner video covering how to get into it.

The Bug Hunter's Methodology by jhaddix is kind of the gold standard checklist for bug hunters.
I don't do it myself but I had a compsec background back in the day and was thinking of getting back into it when I have some time.
