That's why I like being a SysAdmin, always new things to learn.

Why?  Beyond a desire to fire people at times, I have very little
interest in the management track due to the paper work and meetings
that need to be attended ad-infinitum.  I'm much happier being the
uber-tech who solves problems.  

So where do you think I should be moving to in my career then, if not
management?
