So right now I'm in a computer engineering program, but I got a job over the summer doing systems engineering. I really like the automation aspect of it, and it seems like half of the devops equation, with my actual education covering the other half.

DevOps sucks. Also, they'll need fewer DevOps as the cloud takes over more things.

why does devops suck, and why will the cloud taking over things mean fewer devops?

DevOps sucks because it's a combination of two jobs and the expectation is to act something like a jack of all trades, which means nothing is really outside of the job description. On-call duties almost always come with the job, so have fun being called at any time to address any issue. You have to be prepared, too, so you'll need to lug your work laptop with you everywhere.

The cloud promises to take over more and more of the responsibilities of Ops and more companies are relying on the cloud, so if you want to use your experience in the Dev portion of DevOps, then you could have a path out. However, it being a combination of Dev and Ops means you'll be lagging behind in the Dev portion to those that are developers in the first place.
