Career Options

Name: Jerk MeHoff 2009-10-04 23:28

I'm pretty new to the IT field (21, in college for CS, working full-time at 45k/yr, and taking those easy ass certs) a little over 2 years in with over 8 years programming exp. I'm curious as my prospects seem to be high right now and I would like some experiencedfags to shed some light on this subject.

Moneywise which path should I take?
-System Admin (active directory, exchange, fucking with servers type of thing, pretty easy)
-Programmer (self-explainatory, but I find it average difficulty and boring as shit)
-DBA (i know a little about normilization and optimization. I'm also interested in it and very good at data mining)
-Infrastructure (routing & switching type of thing)

Anything else? This is all entry level though, looking to be director or higher later. Pros/Cons of each?

What did it ever do to you?

>>2
I enjoy all these things to a degree which is now why I care about the money.

>>4
Just out of curiosity, how does Haskell lend itself to making money? All I hear of it is academic in nature. Where do I get my free dog?
