If you've got the money, get the Single Engine Piston Rating back (or done in the first place if you're an ex integrated student) and relive what it is to actually fly an aircraft. I've just done this at my local aero club and, whilst I won't have the money to make it a regular hobby (!), it was very enjoyable and definitely I can see myself taking my friends on little jollies over to France to split the cost.
I understand that a lot of airline flying can be boring but as it's so relentless nowadays sadly that's the reality of the job. Think of it another way, 90% of the time when the door closes behind you and the engines are running it's just money for old rope, embrace that. Ultimately despite how much I moan about the industry (which is a lot by the way) if you put me in an office for the rest of my working days - and I have worked in one - I can guarantee I'd be reaching for the razor blades before too long.
