Recovering Investment in Trading System

After 4+ years of effort, I have finally developed a Tradestation trading
system that I am happy with.  It consistently works on almost any chart, in
any time frame.  My problem is I don't have any funds to trade this system
and I have ABSOLUTELY NO DESIRE to sell it on the open market.  I have over
1,000 hours invested in developing this system and the hundreds of attempts
that came before it.  Now I have a system that is robust enough to allow me
to  
recoup part of my investment.

The hurdle is:  if I don't have the money to trade it, and I am unwilling
to sell it to other traders, the only options I can come up with is to
license the software to an institution, or perhaps take a job with a
mutual fund or brokerage firm.  This would be a career change for
me, I now work as a systems analyst/business manager.

I am appealing to the group for the following:
  1.  Anyone had a similar situation?  How did you deal with it?
  2.  Anyone located in Northern Ohio interested in hiring a person with my
skill set?
  3.  Any RealTraders ever go through the experience of licensing a trading
system
to large institutions or hedge fund?

BONUS:  I am serious in this e-mail and would appreciate as much input as
possible.
To anyone who can help, I will provide a "general insight" that helped me
get over the hump.

Thanks
