As exciting and fulfilling as the job is, I wouldn't take it because it is an emotional and mental stress so great that I don't think I'll be able to handle it. Not just operating either, going to school for 14 more years will most likely drive me up a wall. If I was more positive and optimistic, I would take the job. I would definitely do it for the salary to have a nice and stable life, but then I'd be doing it for the wrong reasons, I prefer to go into a career I love rather than be greedy and choose a job solely for economic gain.
