One of my passions is small business.  This is where we have the best chance to be in control of our working, and essentially, personal lives.  Here in Austin, the SBDP is here to help you.  Please check out their website and look at their calendar for many free seminars.  Also, take a Small Business class here at ACC to begin to learn what it is going to take for you to get involved in a fulfilling work life where you know most of the people you work with.  You CAN work somewhere where you are not just a number and a drain on the business' bottom line.
