This is roughly what I do, but $50K is too little - set your sights a little higher!
My job title is "Consultant - Stamping Technical Systems". I actually do support and R&D work in NC Programming, DNC Systems (PC -> Machine tool communications), networks, Operating Systems, and just about anything concerned with PC's and automotive stamping. This means I get to sit at my desk and drink mass quantities of Diet Pepsi and fsck around with lots of computers!
Occasionally, (around deadlines and when systems aren't working) my life can be a living hell. But mostly I figure that my employers are paying me to do stuff I would probably do anyway if I was sitting at home in my underwear - basically, they are payng me to keep my pants on!
Not that I blame them...
Oh, and I have an MCSE and am finishing up my CIS degree at U of Michigan.
