gollark: > System administrator is the best tech job hands down. I love getting paid to install things.Does it involve dealing with users?
gollark: Isn't that *also* kind of bad? I mean, you're subject to departmental politics stuff probably, have "publish or perish" going on, etc.
gollark: "It's only real work if you do manual labour, because that was around longer and is thus evidently the only valid kind, and it looks more difficult to me."
gollark: Yes, that is silly people being silly.
gollark: You're not really paying them for either as much as just the fact that they can do/make the thing you want and you are, presumably, willing to pay the price they ask for. Going around trying to judge someone else's "worth" in some way is problematic.
