This is probably a stupid thing to say in a forum like this, but
why would anyone choose sysadmin if they could be a programmer?
Why get paid less so that you can get yelled at and bitched at
constantly? Why would you want to run around like a headless
chook with a constant list of 20 items on your todo list, knowing
that you will never get to the end of the list?

I always figured that a decent sysadmin would never be out of
work, which is one advantage over a development career, but
from what zebee has been saying even sysadmins are sitting on
the beach.
