Career Path/Change - Cert Help

This is a very serious post. I am a Cell Technician (Cellular Base Station Tech) who is completely bored because my job has basically evolved into a Field Secretary position. I love working on T1's and troubleshooting equipment outages and so on and so forth but my job has become VERY administrative. I love computer/configuration work and troubleshooting.

I am at a point in my life where if I am going to make a change (and I NEED to) it needs to happen very soon! Here is my dilemma:

I have taken MANY career aptitude tests and they always point to Technology and Food.

I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps as an Avionics Technician and the last 7 years in the Wireless/Telecom industry. I am good at what I do but I want more.

I have been cooking since I was 9 and I am now 30...I have a lot of unprofessional food experience. Cooking is one of my passions.

I have also been into computers since I was 10 and everyone I meet says I am a natural. I kick ass on anything in my current position involving computers or CLI. It is my thing!

Cooking doesn't pay unless you know a guy!

IT does!

I am trying to get into something I love to do instead of what pays the bills.

What would be the best path for me to crossover from what I do now to a job in the IT industry (especially VoIP or UNIX)?

Are there any quick certs I can get now (with my GI Bill) that I can use to make about 55k/per year or more with my experience and the new certs? Is there a possibility of making more with my experience and suggested certs?

I would like to make this transition in a years time so quick certs are key!

I have worked on Sun Solaris Workstations and CLI while I worked on Nortel Cell Sites so I am semi-familiar with UNIX.

I have experience with the following (which may or may not help):

Field Experience:

- T1/T3 Testing, Troubleshooting and Installation
- TCP/IP
- CLI
- UNIX CLI
- Lucent CLI
- Electronic Troubleshooting
- Lucent Routers
- Xng
- Remedy
- Help Desk

Wireless/Telecomm Certs:

Lucent BTS
Nortel BTS
Nokia BTS
Carrier Access MUX
Anritsu Cell Master
T-Berd Test Sets (T1/T3)
Harris Microwave Radios
Alcatel Microwave Radios


ANy help at all in this area would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks so much!!

Enumerator: GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_CANCEL Cancel a job. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_SUSPEND Suspend a job. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_RESUME Resume a previously suspended job. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_PRIORITY Change the priority of a job. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_COMMIT_REQUEST Signal the job manager to commence with a job submission if the job request was accompanied by the (two_state=yes) RSL attribute. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_COMMIT_EXTEND Signal the job manager to wait an additional number of seconds (specified by an integer value string as the signal's argument) before timing out a two-phase job commit. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_STDIO_UPDATE Signal the job manager to change the way it is currently handling standard output and/or standard error. The argument for this signal is an RSL containing new stdout, stderr, stdout_position, stderr_position, or remote_io_url relations. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_STDIO_SIZE Signal the job manager to verify that streamed I/O has been completely received. The argument to this signal contains the number of bytes of stdout and stderr received, separated by a space. The reply to this signal will be a SUCCESS message if these matched the amount sent by the job manager. Otherwise, an error reply indicating GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_STDIO_SIZE is returned. If standard output and standard error are merged, only one number should be sent as an argument to this signal. An argument of -1 for either stream size indicates that the client is not interested in the size of that stream. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_STOP_MANAGER Signal the job manager to stop managing the current job and terminate. The job continues to run as normal. The job manager will send a state change callback with the job status being FAILED and the error GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_JM_STOPPED. GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_COMMIT_END Signal the job manager to clean up after the completion of the job if the job RSL contained the (two-phase = yes) relation.
