i dont know if i want to do what i thought i wanted to do
in the course of taking classes at devry, there are several classes i am forced to take that have little to do with what i think is my major, which has me thinking that network admins are the catch all of the it world, and we end up doing simple programming tasks, and assisting every other technical department when all is calm in ours. so i am starting to wonder if i really want to be a network admin who has to deal with being everyones monkey just because i know how to do my job and there is not always a fire in my department. its almost as if network admins who do there job well are punished by being forced to slave away for other it departments. so i am starting to think that it would be nice to do something else, like teach, i would be a college professor if i were to teach, and it would be something to do with networking. or i could be a lazy bum, or any number of other career choices that dont involve punishment for a job well done...

It's really disappointing to find out, that after all our hard work, this is the job we'll be relegated to. I can see the benefit in being able to know all of those things though, it'd be helpful. But you're right, no matter how high we climb in that job, we're still tech support.
I hope you don't have to take career development with Perkins!
bro, the thing is, i would love to know all the extra stuff that we end up being forced to do in out line of work, but to be expected to pick up the slack of the programing department because we know how to do our job, i mean, im sorry but its not MY fault you cant code as well as i can manage a network
heh, i think i know that feeling. i come across something i think i want to do, but when it comes down to what you actually do on the job, it doesn't really sound like what i wanted to do anymore.
yeah, why is it that its so hard to find a job where you can do what you love? why must we be given such stupid tasks that have nothing to do with our jobs?
