redpill me on systems programming as of 2017, is it still relevant? can a graduate pursue it as a long life career now? I hate both high level programming and embedded programming, but I have good knowledge of linux kernel & computer architecture and want to find a career in systems programming but I have a fear it might be a dying & not very profitable these days

As sad as it is to say, look for a *shudder* DevOps job.

learn powershell, you should have no trouble with the WMI/CIM aspects of it and you can make yourself quite marketable.

Oh, cool options. && kys because """IT""" still exists regardless of the year. If OP isn't a mouthbreather on paper he can find something. Where do you freaking think all the Pajeet jokes in the office *really* come from?

Potayto-potahto really, depending on the business you're in. If you want something trying to be trendy then "DevOps" positions are literally just NOC positions. Older business models still say System Admin, cert-chasing and all.
