I'll be a data center technician. I get to play with servers. More hardware side, but I can do it easily enough. Replace drives when a Raid controller says one went bad, replace fans, basic maintenance, monitoring each server rack, all that fun stuff.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You just jumped queue 10-years at least! Most people start in desktop-support which is pretty much dead-end unless you put in lots of outside training.

Data-centre management what I was doing 20-yrs ago for enterprise outfits. My job was to go in after acquisitions were made and migrate their data-centre in-house. They'd drop me off at data-centre after having laid off all their staff and tell us we had 30-days to move it all with no disruption in services!!! Most times, it's simple hundred or two servers in 5-10 racks, no big deal. One time it was BIG acquisition with about 100+ racks!

Anyway, you'll learn way more valuable skills managing data-centres than doing desktop-support. Awesome work!
