Not just my job, but the entire industry I'm in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don't like it. My skill-set isn't very transferable either.

I'm based in Europe so I don't know too well how it works in the US, but if you work for eg Airbus space over here, you won't be working on aircraft or missiles, just space.

Those might exist, but the big players are all focused on the government work. It wouldn't surprise me if the avionics in a commercial Boeing plane are the same as the military with a few bits removed.

I think that's probably true. But the avionics in a satellite are wildly different. And, at least where I work, we use a lot of FPGA.
