this is by no means to turn you off but Linux Sysadmins are not wanted

"Sysadmin" is the old. It's now being called the "dev-ops" position.
They want you to know how to develop software as well as operate the
servers.
Or maybe it's just a way of making someone wear two hats but get one
paycheck.. that happens at startups a lot.
Startups can be cheap on salary, but depending on the shop, you can get
some pretty good experience *fast*. Expect to eat a lot of shit, and
learn things really really really fast. I found about 6 sysadmin jobs
when I moved to Nashville a couple of years ago - healthcare and payment
processing mostly. I found LinkedIn and Indeed to be a better resource
than any of the local recruiting agencies.
The jobs you land will take you on a path through your career, just
make sure to steer it towards what you want, or you can end up stuck in
a cube somewhere - Maybe you want that, and it's okay.
Me, I like the action of working at dotcoms. But a steady gig with
usable benefits is always the peripheral greener grass.
Oh, and I have had no larger impediment to securing a job, than HR
people. They are generally the most worthless of people, who could not
perform any other function in society.
