Not sure who you work for in Wichita but could make some educated guesses. You said you are not super interested in staying in the field, but if it were an option then one alternative would be to simply move somewhere else with more aerospace jobs -- like SoCal.

In terms of other options, I'm in the software business in a particular niche that has a significant engineer and engineering-management customer aspect to it; therefore, we have quite a few people with engineering backgrounds/degrees. There are lots of products and services where your background could be value-added without necessarily being the core day-to-day job duties.
