Systems administrators help organizations and businesses with their information technology (IT) infrastructures. Their responsibility is to ensure the security of the employer's networks and make the IT infrastructures easy to navigate and user-friendly. Some of the most common places that offer systems administrator jobs are schools, banks, hospitals, government offices, and organizations that create computer systems.

System administration is highly technical, and those who succeed in the field have impeccable problem-solving skills. They work with the settings inside applications and programs to create secure networks that house massive amounts of data, much of which is confidential. Most systems administrators work full-time and are on call around the clock to perform crucial network troubleshooting when necessary.
