Administrator

Work as a system admin is similar any kind of work... if you have little experience and are not known to be very good at your work; you cannot pick and choose companies or your schedule to any degree of satisfaction.

If you have a lot of experience and are known to be a very valuable employee, you can often easily pick your company and your schedule.

So, your question really makes little sense, because you ask it in the content of someone who has no system admin experience, and no system admin work track record, yet you are looking for the job and benefits that are typically for a much more senior person.
