In today's world it is common to join an open source development team or some type of community project.

I was on the net a few months ago with some leaders of one of the Apache projects who owns a software company. He said that one of the first things he looks for on resumes is participation in community-based projects.

In the competitive world of today, you are expected to not just have training. Certificates from training courses add small value.

Value is added from participation in community based projects, open source development, and similar "crowd sourcing" opportunities.

Personally, I place very little value in classroom training in this field, and believe that hands-on, hard work, building projects is the best (and only) way to advance yourself.

What version of Solaris do you run at home? What projects have you built on Solaris? Do you run a Solaris-based web site or social network?

Have you joined a Solaris development group? Are you a contributing member?

Also, never forget that teaching is one of the best ways to learn, as many people here in these forums know. Helping others (including the community) is one of the best ways to learn.

Every office is different, so your question is too broad.

You question is similar to asking "What do people eat for dinner every day?"

Every country is different, every family is different, every social and economic class is different, every culture is different -- so you cannot ask "What do people eat for dinner every day?"

The same is true for working in the office as a system administrator:

Every country is different, every family is different, every social and economic class is different, every culture is different -- so you cannot ask "What do people do at work every day?"

Having said that, the vast majority of the people:
  1. Have a coffee or tea.
  2. Say Hi to their friends.
  3. Check email.
  4. Read news.
  5. Read forums and social networks.
  6. Have another coffee or tea.
  7. Try to look busy.
  8. Chat with their friends.
  9. Check out their social networks.
  10. Try to look busy.
  11. Go to lunch .....

Etc. etc.

There are several things common in all system administration jobs:
Verify that backups are happening and verify that they can be restored.
Check the mail system for error messages.
Check the file systems for sudden changes.
Check the printing system for problems.
Until you are comfortable with the system these should probably be daily.

Learn what the users need from you.
Learn the software that is being used.
Learn the hardware.
These are continuing issues. Better to know in advance what you may be called on to do and how to do it.
