"IT is a rapidly changing landscape requiring companies to continuously adapt their infrastructure and business to these changes. Systems Administrator/DevOps Engineers are at the heart of that transformation.How does one hate what one loves to do?"

"I love working with software in all flavors and I hate that users do not read the screen."

"I like to be involved in new technologies.Solving hard and interesting tasks. Non trivial issues.It is so inspiring to find solutions for complicated problems.I like being a System Administrator."

"What I mainly love about Systems Administration and IT in general is the way in which technologies and objects build on top of each other to create something that serves a practical purpose. I also enjoy the sense of building something, even if that something is often logical it's nice to know at the end of the day you help progress or build something. And while it can be frustrating at the time, there is something gratifying about solving a problem you've been stumped by for a period of time. One frustration I have with being a Systems Administrator is users often assume because I'm in IT I'm out to get them monitoring every move, which is definitely not the case. It can also be rough giving people the bad news, even when you know it's not directly your fault and you truly want to help them."

"I love technology, my line of work is challenging day to day. This makes the job interesting. I also enjoy bringing about permanent solutions and delivering proven concepts that improve the company's ability to be productive."

"I love being involved in all facets of the company, and computers these days are so inter-woven in everything that most companies do. I love the fact that I can learn as much as I want or limit myself as much. I hate being limited by bad machinery or antique equipment. I would say that overall, being a systems administrator is a rewarding job."

"Everything we do as SysAdmins is based off the idea that we need to be able to make sure that everyone else is able to do their jobs to the best of our ability. Our measure of success is everyone else's ability to function to the best of their ability. I think that that's pretty amazing."

"Being a Systems Administrator offers a no-typical day type of environment. If you're looking for an engaging and rewarding position, being a Sys Admin is a good place to look. You need to be willing to change priorities at the drop of a hat and be ready for absolutely anything. If you're a type A personality, you'll likely do well!"

"I love being challenged each day, and I find it very rewarding to troubleshoot equipment and finding a solution. I also like that I am continuously learning."

"Like most jobs being a System Administrator has its good and bad days. On the good days I feel like I can accomplish anything. Like I could fix any problem in the world. On the bad days it can seem like nothing will ever get accomplished because things constantly break."

"I love to work as a solutions provider and helping customers with their system needs. I love learning new technologies and keeping in pace with technology. Only thing I do not like is by working independently. The work is not steady. By going for longer projects and full-time opportunities there would be more room for growth."
