Depends on your interests
I concur with Jim -- the answer should be based more on what you like to do and what you want to do.
1) I spent several years managing unix environments; all the op stuff from users to backup to communications to tuning.
2) I also spent a couple years doing lots of detail-based data conversions for a company that processed millions of data records. This required a good understanding of data manipulaiton, methods to be efficient (speed and temp data size) since sometimes the files were huge.
2a) Accompanying this, there were automation skills. Since the data manipulations were often done on different systems and reapeatedly, there was an effort to automate many of the steps - for speed (no wasted time between steps) and accuracy (avoiding mis-typed switches or filenames).
So, do any of these sound like what you want to do? Or is there a specific area you have heard of?

RECVSTATS(8) System Manager's Manual RECVSTATS(8)
NAME
recvstats - summarize HylaFAX receive accounting information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/recvstats [ options ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
recvstats is a command script that prints a summary of the HylaFAX accounting statistics for received facsimile. The statistics can be
sorted using one of several keys: the caller's CSI (default), CIDName (CallID2), CIDNumber (CallID1), the communication speed, or the com-
munication data format. Statistics are read from the file /var/spool/hylafax/log/xferfaxlog unless filenames are specified on the command
line.
The following table is an example of the output from recvstats (using the default sort key):

The Sender column shows the caller's TSI (notice that some callers have not setup a TSI). The CIDName column is the received CIDName value
for the sender. The CIDNumber column is the received CIDNumber value for the sender. The Pages column is the total number of good pages
received. The time column shows the total amount of time spent receiving facsimile from a sender. The Pg/min column displays the average
transfer rate. The Errs column indicates how many protocol errors were encountered while receiving facsimile. The TypRate column displays
the most common communication speed with which facsimile were received. The TypData column shows the most common data format in which fac-
simile data were received.
OPTIONS
-age days Show information only for the facsimile received in the last specified number of days.
-csi* Sort output by caller's CSI.
-cidname Sort output by CIDName
-cidnumber Sort output by CIDNumber
-format Sort output by data format.
-send* Sort output by sender (i.e. caller's CSI).
-speed Sort output by signalling rate.
-since time Show information only for the facsimile received since the specified time; where time is of the form ``MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the
date(1) format string %D %H:%M).
-end time Show information only for the facsimile received before the specified time; where time is of the same form as since.
