Money's not everything (it's the ONLY thing). Just kidding. If you're not happy where you are, then go. Retirement is too far away to be stuck in a job you dislike. You're going to give up your pension but hopefully you've been maxing out your 403b or whatever they call it for the state. My wife is a CA state employee, I am not and my bennies are far better than hers. She's considering going into the private sector now as well.
If the new job doesn't pan out, go back to the state or look for another private sector job. You'll have become more valuable by then with the new skills you've acquired.
