Why don't you try talking to them about working on less than a full time basis as an outside contractor. Maybe take jobs over weekends & evenings. You could probable learn the ropes pretty quickly and if the bubble bursts, you still have your day job and have learned something new. You could probably continue to contract since companies will still be doing some business and will still have some need even if the bubble bursts. Maybe contracting with independents would be attractive to them - you know - no benefits, retirement, sick leave, etc. Could be a winner for both involved. Plus you could command a pretty high fee especially as time goes on and you get better at it. Xtra income might make up for more than the 20% difference & you would still have your original benefits. Maybe it would be a good gig for after you retire too.
