Do you think they give a shit? HR people don't know shit about the technical jobs, they just hire people. I think you're failing to understand that life is a social game and there is no getting around that. College is for making connections, not learning. You need those connections.

I'm a sysadmin. I'm very happy with my job, but it's not really for everyone. IMO it's less souless than being chained to a desk trying to out-code pajets, but whatever floats your dick.
Pay is generally a bit lower than programmers, but much easier entrance and you can expect to get trained on the job, so don't feel bad about applying with little experience.
If you're in a windows environment, you're a business unit, get used to it and learn to deal with vendors
If you're lucky enough to land a unix environment like I did, expect to be doing everything under the sun.
You will also have to deal with some of the most retarded bullshit ever to happen on the face of the earth (mostly programmers). These are some of the higher level examples, but you might have to be prepared to face some of this stuff:
>client programmer
>we've just updated our module, please do the needful
<This has dependencies on 60 NPM modules and chrome, despite being written in java, you do realize this is going on a server right?
>oh, you can just run pip install and it will just work!!1!
But, it's their server, so it all got installed and now we're trying to convince them to log the null pointer exceptions that their shitcode throws every 5 seconds when it times out so we can show them why their server crashes every 20 hours like clockwork.
>upper management
>so the hippies are mad about our burning pile of tyres out back, so we're going to paint it green to make it eco-friendly
<Would you like that done with regular or lead-based paint?
Make sure you have a really good tolerance for stupidity and are able to babysit children programmers, but otherwise it's a good job.

>load up half a dozen status pages on our monitoring system, start going through email to make sure nothing is on fire

>get that vim and perl fired up
>next it's time to figure out why adwords is insisting on spending half our budget on indians looking for soccer sites despite both india and the word soccer being on the blacklist

You don't even need the right people. You just need a mystic arte called "sending out job applications with a shovel". Expect most of them to the shredder becuse HR wants a CS grad, but there are enough places that don't care. Be prepared to take level 1 or helldesk for a year, and you can just work up from there.
Also, if you can, put "able to comfortably use a shell" on the skills section. One thing my company is facing right now is that our local tech school might turn out 40 sysadmin co-op students, but maybe 2 of them can figure out commands more complex than ls.

Used to do that but it aint much use now because about every laptop is pre-installed with Botnet 10 nowadays. But I mean stupid as in "some icon from some program I normally has changed, is it a virus?" while the program in question literately in huge letters will say its being updated. And those question I get from people that are 30~. Even the older people that are 60~ even fucking understand icons changing every now and then due updates.
I like what I do but having your time wasted on questions such as those sucks quite a lot.

At least you don't have to uncomfortably sit inbetween people you hate all day.
>also realize I have no purpose other than to make money to keep living to make more money
That's sadly just what the human existence amounts to in the modern age. Try to be happy that you at least can support your existence from home.

Because caries is caused by the bacteria that has formed around your teeth. When we eat, the bacteria in the plaque uses the sugars from the food to produce acids that will eat away at the tooth enamel. These acids will be attacking your teeth for at least 20 minutes after you eat. Also if you brush after you eat, the pH in your mouth changes and weakens the tooth enamel. Brushing straight after you eat can result in you scraping off the softened or weakened enamel letting the acid go even deeper into the teeth.

My boss LOVES me, everything "just works" like he expects, day in, day out. Of course, getting the place to the "just works" stage was quite the heavy lift. There was zero central automation when I was hired, I had to build the majority from scratch. These days, it's all smooth sailing, I do very little actual work, and what actual work I do is usually proactively fixing potential errors.

Every wise manager knows that it is not trivial to get machine systems working together, it is a job that a skilled technician needs to do. This means the technician needs to spend years of prior training in order to get the necessary skills needed for today. The fact that you're physically sitting around and not exerting muscles doesn't change these facts. It is very much your job to understand how to fix things before they go wrong and when they go wrong.
