"Music has always been my true passion," says Kim Cameron, 43. She was lead singer in a high school band, and, later, a backup singer for a group that regularly performed in Washington, D.C.

The monetary rewards kept growing, along with her IT expertise. At her last job, she made more than $200,000 a year. "Once I got a taste of the good life, with my corporate career, I was too insecure to leave it," she says.
