Which is more satisfying, managing people or technology?

Some people are lifelong staffers because they like to be hands-on with technology. They say they're never going into management, that they didn't get into IT so they could sit in meetings all day.

Other people choose to be managers. They say management is the place to be. Hardware guys have their heads in server cases all day. Software guys do nothing but stare at computer screens. The help desk spends all day talking to angry idiots. But if you're in management, you get to take a hand in shaping company policy.
