A Unix career?
I am going on 16 and im wondering if a Unix career would be suitable for me when im 18, or if it will even be possible for me to get a job working as some sort of a junior sys admin at that age. I am just starting to get into all this Unix stuff and I see the vision.
So, is it really possible for me to get a job as a system admin at that age? Should I start doing soething else, and continue learning Unix on my spare time untill im 20 so i'll have 4 years of Unix experience instead of just 2?
I appreciate your time in advance, your oopinions will make a difference on my future.

P.S. Im planing to have a Linux box set up within the next month, the only things i need are a hard drive and a case to complete the computer.
