Good question, as I'm supposed to renew soon and I am looking at shaping my career path some more.
I tried to learn computers when the VIC-20 came out. Didn't know how. My first remote sysadmin job was helping a friend on his 3 node NetWare BBS. Taught me to really think before I hit the "enter" key. I built my resume by learning the skills on the SAGE SysAdmin's skills list. Information is easy to find. Thoughtful help, mentoring, and wisdom seem to be in short supply. People reading a mailing list or IRC channel for free doesn't bother me at all. I've had those years of checking the couch for gas money. Some possible suggestions: 1. Experienced folks evaluate trends in enterprise computing, datacenter support, DevOps, etc, and provide an unbiased insight into what that means for junior members and those shaping their career. 2. Education about why stability and security are important. How to achieve them, too. Possibly more but my work inbox is calling. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
