5 Reasons NOT to become a System Administrator 

Being on call generally sucks. You never really feel like you’re off the clock and when you do finally get uninterrupted free time, you have moments of “PTSD” where you’re checking your email/phone because you’re nervous there’s a fire to put out.

Thank you for making these videos. I'm working towards transitioning into an IT career, this is very useful information.

I absolutely love your channel! Im trying to become a sysadmin. Working on my skills and confidence. You are an inspiration and your videos are very well put together

I am a system administrator and it is exactly as you describe it.

Was going to school for nursing but something about data and making sure all systems and networks are running as smooth as possible keeps drawing me back to sysadmin

i thought this job field got nothing to do with custumers i might consider a different career then because screw dealing with people and costumers i just want to be buried between me and my tasks and sending them to staff or other people in my team or higherups nearly makes me want to vomit dealing with people, if it's via text, i am fine with it. screw it I would use chat gpt to just professionally answer obviously rude prick costumer.

Brother, I was watching all your videos on System Administrator since a day. I was in sales now working as an Area Assistant Manager, having huge pressure and unable to get required package.

oh my, every comment below is so grateful I went to you site to see if I should subscribe. Henok, you have a very soft voice, probably sounds great without distraction, but the music makes it impossible for me to absorb what you are teaching. Any chance you do a remove from all you posts so I can benefit from your experience without the music making me have to strain to hear you? I am sincere, not being sardonic, I want your knowledge, but cannot get past music for whole videos. No offense man.

Turn off the music dude, I would have liked to hear your thoughts, but that endless drone makes it hard to get clarity from you. Too bad. I would like to know the downside of sysadmin, but you made a music video.
