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?
