I also am certified and am passionate about being a DBA.   After ten years
of being a DBA both in both Production and Development environments,  I am
still happy in my current job.

I'm certified AND I'm passionate about being a DBA.  However, I'm becoming
less passionate about doing Production Support in a high-stakes, high-stress
environment.  Probably happens to a lot of us sooner or later.  I figure
that after nearly 15 years doing production support, I've probably got just
a few more years left in me.  If I could do SQL tuning, er uh, I mean
optimization all day, I'd be happier than a pig in, well, what pigs are
happiest in.  Just innocently putting that out there.  I'm happy in my
current job and not looking.  Just expressing a desire.
