@pludi & Celtic_Monkey: Thanks for giving me some ideas...what about lab workbooks that would give me hand-on projects?

@jhtrice: How do I find a mentor or guru? Should I seek one in my city ( San Diego, CA ) or would an online mentor/guru work?

@rhfrommn: Thanks for your insights! I noticed even part-time entry level system admin still requires some experiences. Its like egg & chicken theory. Maybe volunteer / intern work would be easier to set foot in the door. Another idea would be local user groups?
