When to change careers/jobs?

Figured I'd throw this out there and get some perspective or possible advice from some of the older gentleman on the site.

I've been with the same company for the past 7 years, starting as a 19 year old call center monkey and becoming a project manager - while holding down many other titles in that time. I survived an acquisition, moved to Denver, moved back to MN, dealt with inept management beyond my control or comprehension and now, with another new wave of VPs and directors - after they just fired the entire upper level 3 years ago saying we needed to "trim" that level, I'm finding this place more and more insufferable as my job titles, duties, and function changes - yet again.

For those people that have been through this before, and I know this is personal, but what was your breaking point to finally change careers? Or if you stayed with your company through everything you had endured, what was the light at the end of the tunnel you held out for?

Just one of those years so far...
