I have completed my first degree and recieved my A.A. in Networking. I am now pursueing Network Security Bachlores degree. I was wondering as I have heard from different sides of the networking admins world. Some say they love it, and its the best, while others are burnt out. I was hoping to tap into every ones wisdom and find out what it truely takes to handle being the Admin?
For example I was wondering how many meetings on average you must attend per week?
What seem to be the biggest repeating problems you seem to face and manage?
What makes your job frustraiting?
Do you have an accurate network map of all nodes and all layer 2 and 3 equipment?
Any advice, or experience you can share would be deeply apprecieated.
It is my greatest career desire to become an outstanding I.T. profesional. I am researching every aspect of networking, the good and the bad.
Thank you in advance Rebel
