Data center management - should I quit the profession?

Data center management is such a tireless profession- should I quit it?


Should I quit this data center management profession and get a more "normal" job? This data center management job implies waking up at odd hours to answer the cell phone and have my family curse me every day


The only thing that seems to have changed in my data center management job is the move from beepers to rickety Motorola phones to a sleek IPhone. But irrespective, there is always a crisis situation that needs resolving


Data center management is simply not worth it


I started as a data center engineer specializing in Unix servers, and now head the entire data center but life hasnt changed much. My data center management job dominates my life and my family has been urging me to change my job for quite a while, but "job inertia" and the fear of going to another profession hold me back.


Do you think a data center management guy like me has any chance in another profession


All I long for is a 9x5 job and no production breakdown calls at night..
