Jr UNIX Admin Position

Hello. I have worked in a desktop support role for the past 2 years. I was approached at my place of work and offered a job as a junior Unix administrator. All training would be provided. The only experience I have is what I have read about Unix in my free time. Nothing more.

I had a couple of questions regarding the position.

1. What is the typical (ballpark figure) salary of a junior Unix administrator? I have seen that most Unix admin's make 75k +. I am in the southern US and would just like to know round about what a 'jr admin' would expect.
2. I have seen some of the book recommendations on these forums for beginners, but does anyone know of any online tutorials, videos, etc?
3. For anyone who has held a Unix position, how are the stress levels associated with the job? Obviously, this is different in every case, but did you enjoy what you did/do?

Thank you for any help.
