R&D Tax consultant (Score 1)

I was in a similar situation. I came across 2 career paths that leveraged my CS background, my facility with spoken and written (human) language, and my positive, outgoing personality.

1) The path I chose was to become an R&D Tax specialist. Gov't gives tax incentives for qualifying R&D work. Claiming yourself can be hard, so you hire consultants like Deloitte & Touche (employer plug) to do it for you. That's where I come in. This is a dream job for me, because I get to stay current with a lot of cool technology coming out, I get the behind the scenes look at many tech companies, talk to smart people, discuss ideas, document them, and move on. There are also boutique firms that do this kind of work, but a large professional services firm is more likely to be interested in fully developing you, as is definitely the case with D&T.

2) The path I originally explored was becoming a patent agent. Similar in many respects to my chosen path, but I've found accountants much more laid back and open to work/life balance than lawyers. And this is a particularly poor choice karma-wise for the /. crowd.

Both are paths with good salaries and potential for upward mobility. Check it out.
