I was torn between being a SysAdmin and a Dev. Went to school for SA and now I'm a Linux admin. No regrets and it was fun when I first started..... Now not so much.
I actually have fun pretending to be a Dev in my free time. Built a couple open source things and I enjoy it. I'll NEVER be a dev for my job.
Funny enough, I did the opposite I'm a Dev but tinker with being SysAdmin in my free time.
Some days I wonder if I should get out of tech altogether. I miss setting things up, getting deep into things I find fun. I feel work takes the fun out of it, honestly.
I'd love to volunteer somewhere that'll make the world better. Homeless shelter, food bank, etc. The problem is, how do I do this AND pay my bills AND have free time to relax?
Just become independently wealthy, a couple of hundred million should do the trick. Then you can hire people to care about the fortune, and spend time on your passions.
/S
How do you tinker with SysAdmin? Just set up random systems, or do it for a local club or so?
I'd assume it's just self hosting stuff you didn't build. That's all I do at work, make sure the app our dev team created stays up and has resources to grow.
