So Im thinking of becoming a sysadmin or a netadmin. Anyone here work in that field? What are your thoughts and experiences with those careers? Sounds like a cool job, I like building/ taking apart computers and I enjoy problem solving.

you need to have an intimate knowledge of tcp/ip to be able to

Ok? Thats what school is for

I was sysadmin for a few years and it's a good work. If you will find a good team of people to work with you are golden. Me for example, I had a grate team but got offer from other company for much more $$. Of course I took it and every day for six months the first word that came to my mind was "fuck". The level of twatness in this work was beyond anything I ever witnessed so if you can do some research before you will decide where to start your career.

>The level of twatness in this work was beyond anything I ever witnessed
Can you elaborate?

you should look into other work
you obviously have no idea what a sysadmin even does
and probably lack the mental capacity to learn

>Sounds like a cool job, I like building/ taking apart computers and I enjoy problem solving

Ah the joys of being young and underage. Don't be retarded,everyone likes to do that, it's not something special.
Oh and scientists don't make super robots either.
As a sysadmin at cisco some years back, I never once had to "take a computer apart". That's what the "IT guy" is for.

You'll be administrating Active Directory domains and doing mind numbing patching as a sysadmin and you'll want to shoot yourself as a netadmin. Be a generic computer tech for some company if you really want to do the physical work but don't expect to make much.

If I pulled out all of those cords would he die?

>building/ taking apart computers
That's not what admins do.
>I enjoy problem solving
A lot of occupations involve problem solving and few are as narrow-field and dull as network administration. Not a bad job, but hardly an exciting one.

>Sounds like a cool job
It's not, unforgiving.
>I like building/ taking apart computers and I enjoy problem solving.
Has nothing to do with sysadmin

>sysadmins dont take put together/ take apart computers
But sysadmins set up hardware for comptuer systems as well as fix problems with computer systems, surely this often incolves opening up computers aswell as servers and working on them or putting them together?

Im a sysadmin and you really dont

Wow this place is a shit hole. How do I get the impression that no one here has actually ever had a real job?

Nope.
That's the duties of IT support, which is where everyone inevitably starts at.

Are you compensating for something?

I am a domain admin for a network with over 10 000 users and I have only one cert. Also zero idea what I'm doing.

Adam?

Because farting around building and taking apart computers is fucking gay and a waste of time when more important things are at stake, go work at a computer shop if you want to do that.

Nope

Youre literally posting on Sup Forums. I suppose youre a highly trained EMT on break or the next world changing politician?

Not him, but there's a shitton of EMTs on Sup Forums.

>Spend two months rewrangling everything from scratch
>thereafter work 4hours a week testing the backups
>get paid for 5*9 hours a week
>Rest of time work on own projects

Being a GOOD admin is comfy as fuck. You do have to be as good as me though

The IT Industry has a wide variety of differing roles and specialties instead of just building computers from scratch you mongo

I don't know why you've got such a stick up your ass. You find them predominantly on /k/ or Sup Forums. Either way, you can check the archives if you want proof.

Who implied otherwise?
