That said, a classic entry-level "sysadmin" job was just a "jargon translation" job between a vendor and the local implementation of the vendor's products quite often anyway. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but I do think it makes for a waste of human potential just to keep the anonymous cogs of an organisation running.
It’s the convenience of it that is the big selling point to me.
As I get older, I'm less inclined to look into a DIY way to solve a technical problem. Even if it's "not too complex". When I was younger and had more time to kill (aka stay up all night) that was cool. Sometimes I just wanna get a full night of sleep and am fine paying a small fee for access to a tool or service that I don't have to maintain or think about too much.
