I swear to god. It's "sysadmins" and "network engineers" like yourself who make this job not worth doing. You're 22, and making more than most 22 year olds who work retail and the like. You have a wife, who you never see. You may as well staple the back of your hand to your forehead now. Welcome to the computer industry, babe. It's not always about 40 hour weeks and competent ISPs. I think I worked +- 70 hours last week, and did so happily. I love my job. I love the opportunity to learn and to put the new knowledge into practice. That's what this is all about. Opportunity, doing things right the first time. Correcting things that weren't done right the first time. Do what you love, and do it well. The last thing in the world the computer industry needs are damsels in distress like yourself.
