Starting over, making a living with linux?
I really like to use linux, although I freely admit I don't know squat about it. I can install it, update it and get it to most of what I would like it to do, up to running some windows apps on it.
I am going back so to school starting on the 25th, with a declared major of Information Technology. I am however not convinced its what I would like to do for the rest of my life. I really enjoy most everything about the computer information world, except macs =D
Anyway basically what I am asking is what would you do if you could start over and do it again?
Is there a good living in Linux? What would you study? What direction would you go and why?
I'd like to get all the info I can before I get to far into my degree that turning back would be a bad idea.
