Career Path
First I like to say hi to all the people in this community. The reason I am here is because I am lost and looking for advice on my career path.
Here is a short history. I worked in the IT industry for about 10 yrs, sys admin, QA, and developer. During 911 I lost my job. Since then I have been working as a prof. interpreter. Now I am trying to get back into IT. Because I have been away so long now my exp. is also a bit rusty, but still a strong foundation. However, hiring companies want fresh exp.
My questions. How can I get back to IT? What is the best and quick path? Should I get a Unix/Linux certification?
Advices, suggestions or anything is good. I am listening.
