  • Hey I can see a lot of people are recommending sysadmin roles, but reading your comments you seem like you’re more interested in software development. They’re two very different fields and software Dev pays a lot more on average.

    It’s hard to transition from sysadmin to dev, I’ve worked in IT as a system administrator for over a decade and I don’t know anyone personally whose done it. I wouldn’t count on moving into software development from IT.

    Either of these positions are immeasurably better than retail :)
