I hate to get all New Age on ya, but being bored is a choice.
If you do the least amount and variety of work you can get away with, any
job is boring. If you notice and grab the opportunities to do different, new
things and improve the processes and products around you, no job is boring.
Even when none of the latter is possible, there is usually some compensation
in the form of time or other resources that gives you a chance to do all
kinds of fascinating things, job related or not.
What is it about being a sysadmin that you're trying to get away from? Will
being in another job get you away from those things? That seems like a more
important question to answer.
