Is CISA(Systems Admin) a good choice for someone who's terrible with phones?
Hey guys, so i've applied to this program: http://www.bcit.ca/study/programs/181adipts#overview, just to get my foot in the door.
"Computer Information Systems Administration Network Systems Administration Option"
I'm sort of aiming to become a system administrator if I go through with it. I'm not really sure on the day of the life of a system administrator, how heavy the workloads are, etc. This would be the first white collar career i'd be getting into.
I don't have social anxiety, but I think I have some sort of phobia with phones. And I don't know how often a system administrator deals with phones. I had a job where I was in charge of a warehouse and one of my responsibilities was to handle all internal and external phone calls, and man, i did a terrible job at it, whenever I picked up the phone my throat would go dry, sometimes i'd be sweating, i'd get nervous. That could have been because of all the other work I had besides handling phone calls, i'm not sure. But even if I have to make a phone call myself, i'd go out of my way to avoid it. Or i'd ask a coworker to make the phone call for me. I ended up quitting that job because I hated the phone call aspect of it.
I don't have social anxiety, I can handle conversations professionally, and better than the average person, but when it comes to dealing with phones, honestly, I get quite nervous and scared.
Is aiming to be a systems administrator a bad idea for me? Or should I just keep on the path and maybe i'll improve?
EDIT: I made an error on the title of this thread, it's supposed to be: "Is CISA(Systems Admin) a bad choice for someone who's terrible with phones?"
