Not just my job, but the entire industry I'm in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don't like it. My skill-set isn't very transferable either.

Those might exist, but the big players are all focused on the government work. It wouldn't surprise me if the avionics in a commercial Boeing plane are the same as the military with a few bits removed.

I think that's probably true. But the avionics in a satellite are wildly different. And, at least where I work, we use a lot of FPGA.
