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?

How about you concentrate on being happy rather than making money? Just learn some enterprise bullshit and do some minor enterprise jobs, and learn Haskell to play around when you have the time.
