Everyone I know in network admin/engineering has left or is actively trying to leave.

You need to ask yourself one thing:

Out of all the money the company makes and distributes to its executives and other cushy jobs (such as software engineers like me, etc), why don't they just hire a night shift network admin? Or try any number of solutions that would allow you to lead a normal life?

Simple: they don't care about you. Get out while you still can! I helped one of my NE friends get into development and he seems to be much happier.

I like what I do for a living so i'm ok with that...
