I love my job because I get to play with high tech toys that I otherwise would not. As sys admin I can force my draconian policies on my weak and pathetic (l)users bwuhahaha!

Actually, no. The "users" in my office are really cool and 90% of them are computer litterate.

I don't like my tech job, I LOVE it!!!
I agree with MacGyver about having the chance to play with the latest and fastest hardware.
There is a problem, though. My salary. It's too damn low!

Yep. I love the job. If I wasn't doing this for a living, I'd be spending all my free time doing it as a hobby.

I too love my job. Most users know what is going on. Once I started here I got into running the phones along with the computers. The phones can be a pain, but I enjoy doing it.

Hi,

I've been in the tech field in one way or another since 1975 when I joined the Navy as an Aviation Electronics Technician. That's where I really put electronics theory to work...I learned more as a bench tech in the Nav than anywhere else.

Anyway, Yes, I love being a tech. Now, if you're strictly talking PC's, I'm not a PC jockey. I work on the big mainframes, servers, printers, tape drives, disk drives, etc. for corporate contracts. Can't imagine myself doing anything else...except playing guitar in a long-haired rock-n-roll band.

I love what I do, or I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. However, there are some other careers I may be interested in if I can just get my foot in the door, and I feel that my experience as an engineer may help:

<ul>[*]Coffee Taster</li>
[*]Mountain Dew Quality Control</li>
[*]Technical Writer</li>
[*]Fiction Writer</li>
[*]Public Relations</li>
[*]Political Activist/Lobbyist</li>
[*]Executive Assistant</li>
[*]Lie Detector</li>
[*]Privite Investigator</li>
[/list]

This is just a partial list. If any of you out there know of any openings, let me know.

I like the toys, but hate the idiots, i know one day it will balance in my favor, but probably long after i am dead.

I like it, (but not that 6th grade kinda like the girl) this is more, Sure it is a good waste of time. And the customers get dumber as the day progresses.

And where else can we play with the cool toys, have saturday night live characters based on us, get paid good money to be on Windrivers, and generally be reviered for knowing what buttons to press on these computer doohickies.
