I feel the same way. After my last company went belly-up, I resolved to to find a new line of work that was more challenging and creative. I know there's interesting people out there doing interesting things- I just haven't worked with them yet! So the quest continues. My only highly unsolicited advice is this: I know you're burned, but you are (at least from my perspective) very fortunate to make a living in a creative field. People like me stuck in the "uncreative arts" (transportation logistics! feel the excitement!) would love to have an opportunity to do something more interesting. I just want to warn you that should you get into banking or something, you may find that you really miss being creative.
