I hear you!
There are only so many afternoons you can spend in a cube, staring longingly at the big iron flying overhead, before you say 'Enough is enough.' (In my case, anyways.)
And, thankfully, since non-aviation jobs don't have an airline seniority system, if you realize that the airline life just isn't what you had hoped it would be, you can always go back to your former industry without starting over at the bottom...
