100% agree with /u/Alligator777.
I work remotely for my company. They're based in Boston, pay Boston-based wages, and I live in the Denver area. I can finish work and be outside climbing in about ten minutes.
Bonus is remote-first companies tend to have better management structures anyway.
Check out:
In the last two years, I've worked for my company from eight or nine countries, and dozens of states in the USA.
Even when I'm not traveling, working remotely beats the snot out of not working remotely.
Where in the stack do you work, and what's your specialty? I might be able to point you in some helpful directions.
Remote: Office Not Required by Jason Fried will give you all the arguments and talking points you could ever need to sell remote working to your company. http://www.amazon.com/Remote-Office-Required-Jason-Fried/dp/0804137501/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=braest-20&linkId=12130157992a2fd47f4eb0ff14e95b73
The Clean Coder is pretty great as it talks about being a professional developer and all that that entails. Very opinionated though (as all of Uncle Bob's books are). "If you don't do TDD, fuck you" is a fairly accurate paraphrasing of one chapter. Still, I found a lot of value there.
I recently read Rework which is a very quick read, but very dense with information on how Basecamp runs their business and many ideas of things that you should or should not do. If you do any freelancing or are thinking of starting your own business at some point, I'd recommend it.
Probably going to read Remote next as I'm working with remote business partners myself.
You should read Remote, it has just the insights you're looking for.
And also, you say that running any business remotely is highly unlikely. May I refer you to this wonderful book: https://www.amazon.com/Remote-Office-Required-Jason-Fried/dp/0804137501
And do you ever imagine that all your experience and degrees may actually work to stunt your thinking? That you've seen things done a certain way for so long, maybe you find it difficult to imagine that things could be done differently, for similar, if not better results?
I just read the chapter Cabin fever in the book Remote: Office Not Required that give some great insights in how to deal with this issue. I made some photo's so you can read it: http://imgur.com/a/rh42L
