Went to university to study Bioinformatics. There I discovered I don’t really like biology, but I did really like getting paid beer to fix other student’s computers. Especially when they were desperate around submission deadlines cos they hadn’t backed up their work for weeks/months before their computer went kaput.
I’ve been a sysadmin now for 13 years since graduating.
Even better, I found a company that pays me in money while having a free beer fridge in the office :D (at least, up until before I basically started wfh full time during the pandemic)
