I was torn between being a SysAdmin and a Dev. Went to school for SA and now I'm a Linux admin. No regrets and it was fun when I first started..... Now not so much.

I actually have fun pretending to be a Dev in my free time. Built a couple open source things and I enjoy it. I'll NEVER be a dev for my job.

Funny enough, I did the opposite I'm a Dev but tinker with being SysAdmin in my free time.

The grass is always greener outside of corporate control.

How do you tinker with SysAdmin? Just set up random systems, or do it for a local club or so?

I'd assume it's just self hosting stuff you didn't build. That's all I do at work, make sure the app our dev team created stays up and has resources to grow.

Some days I wonder if I should get out of tech altogether. I miss setting things up, getting deep into things I find fun. I feel work takes the fun out of it, honestly.

I'd love to volunteer somewhere that'll make the world better. Homeless shelter, food bank, etc. The problem is, how do I do this AND pay my bills AND have free time to relax?

Just become independently wealthy, a couple of hundred million should do the trick. Then you can hire people to care about the fortune, and spend time on your passions.
