Does technology stress you out?
| System administration is a business full of problem solving and data loss risk. I would advice you to draw your carreer path again if it stresses you that much. But keep in mind that a sysadmin is who prevents the problems from occuring. So it MAY also be the rightest choice for you. I'm not sure, but be careful.
| The alternatives are probably worse. Lawyer, marketer, accountant, seller/cashier... While dealing with machines does have some logic and to a problem the machine will respond always with the same wrong outcome under the same conditions, this is not true for people, who are irrational, moody and will switch predisposition for no reason at all, or will keep their own wrong ideas regardless of whatever ammount of arguments you bring at them.
| A proprietary machine has similar outputs to humans
| Whenever my computer does something it's not supposed to do, I go red in my face, my body temperature and blood pressure rises and I brainstorm too hard to find the solution for my problem
| my computer is my baby, i don' t get angry at it ever. Not even if it freezes and screams like a tortured angel of death and scares the shit out of me.
i blame the software to not work with my baby.
| Oh for sure, my gpu fans broke last night and I spent all night trying a mix of disassembly and screaming to get them working again
| I love my computersystem. Everyday I get updates makes me happy. :)
I just don't like unfree stuff and closed platforms. The more they establish, the more they also restrict my beloved free system :(

You can solve that problem by only using fully Free Software. Abolish proprietary software!

| I've noticed that whenever I'm troubleshooting something or just working with computers and other devices in general, or makes me increasingly anxious. When something doesn't work I tend to lose my shit and it's all downhill from here, until I calm myself down. This makes me reconsider my (possible) career path towards system administration.
Fuck the shitty software. Fuck the failing hardware. Why am I so addicted to technology?
