I know 5 languages (natural languages, not programming), I don’t understand physics and mathematics well, but I want to work as a system administrator, what should I do?
I study in the 11th grade, in Kazakhstan. I know one thing for sure: the best work is the one that gives pleasure.
Experience - I support about 20 school machines on Windows in working order, sometimes I earn extra money with single home visits. I want to develop, but it is very difficult to combine with study.
I am considering two options.
The first is to complete a bachelor's degree at the Faculty of International Relations, simultaneously acquiring certificates of a system administrator and moonlighting as an enikey.
The second is to graduate from some kind of IT faculty. But there is a problem with admission, I absolutely do not rummage either in physics or in mathematics, how to pass the entrance exams - I have no idea.
In general, I ask you to help me with the choice, or maybe I don’t understand something correctly, then please correct me and set me on the right path :)

Depends on where you want to get to.
If you want to be a system administrator, you can do without it-education, get by with self-education (all sorts of courses and books) and experience.
The easiest way to gain experience is to outsource.
There will be everything: both SCS and servers in different configurations. At the same time, you will check what you are more interested in from IT.
I have 13 years of experience as a system administrator and the lack of knowledge in physics and mathematics did not stop me.
If you want to go up in system administration - an architect or an IT manager - then education may come in handy.
The truth is not physics but ITIL.
Another strange thing. If you know 5 languages, you can't help but like it.
Are you sure you don't want to go that route?
System administration is a road to nowhere.
Do you want advice? Forget about him.
Go for international relations if that's easier for you. Now in the field of IT there is such a shortage of personnel that in the next 5-7 years you will not be left without a piece of bread even without education at all. And by that time, either you will break into leadership positions, or you will go to another area. In both cases, near-IT education did not rest against anyone.
I recommend changing the job to one where there is another (preferably more experienced) colleague. This will give a good impetus to development.
The fact that you support a computer class is the work of Enikey, not a system administrator.
This work does not require special knowledge, does not require much experience, since the connection is only on these computers. But in the future, you may face a lot of competition, and, as a result, low wages.
The job of a sysadmin is more about dealing with people than with computers, and these people are often not tech savvy. You have to be a psychologist and be very patient.
Only on these two points often sysadmins leave for other professions, think about it.
