What are the Pros and Cons of a IT Career in Academia/ School campus?

BTX8383

After working in IT for a while I figure I want to take my career path in education/academia. Ex: University System Admin, College User Support, Elementary Computer Lab Technician , School District IT Assistant, High School System Admin or just something related to this.

Does anyone here work in an Academia related environment it doesn’t have to be IT but any non-teacher job? What’s your experience been working in schools? 

Pros and cons? Do you guys get Spring Break or Winter Break off? How is Job Stability ?

Do you like working with teachers and students ?

Do you get summers off paid or do you work on projects during summer ?

How is the pay and PTO like? 

Would you recommand working in Schools Long Term in IT?

Interested in asking the Techexam forums community

Can you narrow it down to (public or private) educational institutions in a specific geographical area?
