As someone who supports several large companies networks, I've seen both kinds.
Some companies just don't care. They think that network problems due to careless, idiot users is just par for the course. They will just continue to pay to have you constantly fix problems that wouldn't be problems if they fired a person or two for screwing things up.
Then you have companies that set limits from the get go. The network crew isn't there to pick up after them. In fact they are there to tell the boss who's causing the problems. After a few people get smacked around by the boss, you'd be surprised at how quickly clueless users become caring, semi-responsible users.
The only downside is that they call a lot more often asking ridiculous questions. But I guess it's better than the alternative.
How could you possibly have a masters in CS, and not have any idea what you want to do? It sounds to me like you were going to school, not to gain a career. But to avoid having to work sooner.
Obviously there's nothing specific that you loved to do, or you would know what to do now. I would say planning is not your strong suit either, so management is probably not a realistic expectation. You should probably become a teacher. I'm not sure the real world is what you're looking for.
