OT: What's next ?

Dear list !

I'm being around Oracle (mostly as a DBA) for about 5 years. Lately i feel that i do not enjoy doing it (and only it) too much, because i feel that i'm doing pretty much the same and not getting anywhere.

Off course, there are always new features, versions etc. in Oracle, and plenty of things to learn, but suddenly i feel bored with all this stuff.

So i am starting to think , where i am going to from here ? What's next ? I'm just wondering what to do with myself : should i try learning UNIX system administration and getting deeper into UNIX field (although at my current job i do not have that much opportunities to do so - we have only one Solaris on Intel installation) ,

or should i , may be , go into some development , or may be prepare myself for some managerial / system analysis role ? I am just kinda lost.
So i thought , may be there are other people on this list who have / had such a dilemma, and found their way out of it. Would U mind to share ?

Thanks a lot in advance,
