First, a warning: asking other for advice on job/career is a lot like asking them to pick a girlfriend for you.
Anyway, my suggestion is to sit down and do a rational evaluation of what you enjoy doing, and what you dont. Take two pieces of paper, on one list things you really enjoy doing and are good at. On the other list things you hate doing and feel you are bad at. Then take a third piece of paper and write down the joib description of the job you are doing - your description, not that of the company. Put all three side by side. If the majority of what you are doing is on the positive side, just recognize that every job has some parts you won't like. However, if its mainly on the nagative side, you probably want to look for another job - that may be with the same company or not, but use your lists to help guide you in looking at jobs. Don't be afraid to add to each list as new topics occur to you.
Its not impossible to find jobs which are mostly good (for you), but it will take some time, and you probably won't find them just by looking at job ads on monster.com or your local newspaper. Use your contacts - all your contacts, in your business area or not, make a time specifically to sit down with them and explain that you are considering a job change, you have an idea of the sort of job you are looking for, and ask their advice on where they think jobs like that might be.
Most will listen, but not have anything immediate to suggest - but you will have planted the question in their minds, and if any one of them ever comes across someone with a job like that, they will remember you and pass on the info - you effectively co-opt these people into aiding your job search.
If you are serious about a change, you might want to talk with one of the companies that specialise in helping people find a new career after being laid off. But one word of warning, just about any of these companies will tell you that finding a GOOD job is, in itself, a full-time job.

If you don't want to go through the full analysis and job description formulation and search, and are really convinced that you just want to continue with the tech work and skip management (and there are really many people in this camp) then think seriously about how good you really are, and if you are as good as you think, then look at consultancy as a job.
Consultancy pays money (you won't get seriously rich this way, but at least comfortable - $100k+), but you have to be able to deal with rapid change, with clients who are idiots -- it helps knowing you can walk away at any time, and there is an end in sight, with travel, and quite often long hours.
Also depending on how you do this - self-employed, contracting company with W2 pass-through, or simply as an employee of a contracting company there will be differeing amounts of admin tasks (at least keeping track of billable hours and expense reports), and some uncertainty about whether you will be working for the next month -- the extra money you get helps here - you just need to sock some away to cover the dry spells -- if you are as good as you think, there won't be too many dry spells, and those that do happen will be short.
Management as a job generally sucks in most US companies, unless you can get to the exec. levels (hint: as a techie, you will never get there). Middle management tends to have lots or responsibility with no authority - its your fault, but you have no control, and you tend to be put into horrible situations where you end up having to choose who to screw of those who work for you. If you have other options, I, personally, would avoid that route.
