I've been doing IT for 5 years now. I am the sole IT guy at my job so I deal with everything. I'm good at my job. We use Windows mainly but I've integrated Ubuntu and Mac into the mix. For me, I just can't stand it anymore. I'm burnt out.
IT used to be fun for me, as a hobby. Now, as a job, I hate it. I got this job while I was still studying for my Tech. Degree and after all that, I just want out. I haven't had a vacation, a real vacation without remote accessing into something since forever. I'm on call 24/7, underpaid (I make $30,000 for being the companies System Administrator), I deal with rude management and clients. Not to mention the countless hours I spend on the weekend working since I am on call 24/7.
I do all this without complaining, verbally, but I'm beat. People just don't understand that it takes time to work on issues. We live in a world where it needs to happen now. I just want out.
