"It's the challenge and satisfaction you receive from keeping your environment up, running, and healthy. The best systems admin is the one you never see. Anyone that knows the business, should know what I mean. I also like the opportunity to learn new things and integrate where necessary like using GLADE, Python and eclipse to develop a GUI for an application that was command line only. Small app, but I had a blast learning. It was a front end for the Dev team at OTS and they loved it."

I haven't found anything that I hated, but if I ever do, will be sure to let you know. I would recommend everyone that likes this field to try this exciting experience we call System Admin."

Systems Administrator at New York University
in New York City, NY

"I love the amount of projects I am given. They can be very eccentric at times and are a great break from the day to day. The only issue is the politics of the company. The model of the company makes it tedious and sometimes difficult to reach point c from point a when point b doesn't let you."

"I really enjoy working as a Systems Administrator. It's rewarding to help people and also you learned many new things when you do. What I love the most about this job is there is always new things to learn and technology is always advancing. What I don't like about this position is assume you know everything about electronics and expect to fix it."
