"I enjoy having my knowledge tested daily as a sysad. The only way I believe I'll learn is by working on issues first hand and that is most satisfying to me. I wouldn't say that I hate any part of being a sysad. The only tough part for any sysad I think, is coming into contact with disgruntled customers."

"IT is a great career. It's fun and can challenge you in both mind and body. The pay for the amount of hours you put in is sometimes not worth it, as you could almost have two full time jobs. The feeling of watching things that you work on come together is great, however time lost at home with friends and family can put a toll on you.So if you have a 9-5 work attitude don't go into IT unless they have 24hr a day shifts."

"I love working on and supporting campus networks, with particular interest in wireless. It's been my ambition to focus on the network side since leaving HP. I find owning the network and the servers is the way to go! The downside to my work with Dice is their being located in Omaha, which makes a majority of my work remote and more difficult than is necessary. I particularly dislike the extra time things take and the reflection on overall performance."

"I really like to troubleshoot problem to find an elegant solution. I don't like when clients ask for solutions that does not have any sense...."

"I like learning Linux, and I don't like doing night shifts."

"I love finding new solutions to interesting problems. Its fun to dive right in and make all of these different products work together. Plus, I'm empowered to create my own solutions if I can't find one done better by someone else."

"I live to solve problems and in an IT Sys Admin role I get to do that constantly."

"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 enjoyed working there but glad I got laid off to explore other areas in IT."

"I love exposure to new technologies if allowed. Hate that it will become a dying profession in a world of virtualized, automated SCCM style cloud environments."

"Love playing with new technologies and being able to integrate them into my skillset. Hate the buzzword bingo that is so common today, and the overuse and general level of ignorance around 'cloud' technologies."
