I'm questioning my choice of studies. I don't really know if I want to work in IT anymore. It has always been a hobby, but when I had intense workloads at schools I was disgusted of computers. I don't want my future work to be like that and to kill my main hobby. I don't want to end un in a start up working an insane amount of hours for a failing project & not be really useful to anyone.
@Siphonay
If I could live off a small but devent wage and do normal hours in a work that doesn't specifically require tons of education and diplomas and have time for myself, my friend, my family, my boyfriend and my hobby besides it I would be way happier than this school that wants me to be here 50h/week
@Siphonay can see what you mean but its equally likely (whether or not you get a degree) you still end up working similar hours as sysadmin/IT worker for some company, with possibly the same end results.
That said my current job as IT manager in a medium size company isn't too bad but I still find I have less energy for hobby projects after the work day/week ends. (I am a few years older though..)
@Siphonay that said although an all-round #sysadmin job in a *non-tech* company can be "lonely" and both mentally and physically demanding (UPS accus for instance weigh many kilos, as can computers when you have a lot to install), with a good employer you are often more appreciated and there is more teamworking than somewhere like a startup or tech company where everyone is competing with one another (which may also be what uni is like these days)
@Siphonay With all that being said and done, I know you've already got an answer. Follow your heart and trust your instincts.
@Siphonay ...oh..my heart...
