I am now a Senior UNIX/Linux System Administrator looking after hundreds of Solaris and Linux systems for one of Australia's largest DNS/Web Hosting/Mail companies.
I suppose my points are:
* You can make anything you want out of your career if you're willing to work for it.
* You don't need formal training. If you have a passion for the field, and aren't just learning it to "get the job", you'll pick it up. UNIX is a hobby for me, not just a profession.
* It won't happen over night. I have years of experience under my belt, but never stop learning more. There'll always be someone who knows (much) more than you - learn from them - don't feel intimidated.
Just my 2 cents....

Hi,
Ok zazzy bob after reading your posted thread, it has no doubt that you could get what you wanted to, but actually as i earlier posted my thread for the first time on this Forum. Although i didn't have an idea that i don't have to mention my cell nor my email which by mistaken happened for which i am sorry to pressy probably the Moderator.
You mentioned that you didn't have any educational training, well it is highly motivated myself, but here the scenario is totally change. Simultaneously i am running my Job & part time my University regular classes and after that you know that once couldn't do other things. So therefore i searched out allot and could streamline that i have to line up my career coz only taken the Degree/Diploma/Certificate couldn't enough for once to be an expert or could even start on work.
All i want is on your part and as you mentioned allot which appreciably boost my moral, just give me a plan to be managed while keeping in view the scenario.
I would remain awaiting for your favorable response (All the Feasibility = PC Unix-Installation upto Network) in order to get started my work from the scratch to grip on UNIX.
I hope you could understand and getting my point.
