Can we maybe also still talk about employment issues
pleeeeesee????? ;)
I'm also pretty new to the IT industry, and would actually like to
eventually specialise in gnu/linux/free software, more because of its
open source / utilitarian nature than because it might lead in to
working with other, "bigger" unices.
Presently, I'm doing desktop support in an organisation that has a
pretty standard windohs/netware setup. I'm also studying part time
towards a master of computer science degree. I'm quite happy with
the situation except that i dont have enough spare time between work
and uni to really get into playing/working with linux and this is
frustrating me.
Im sorta considering two basic options.
Should I:
a) continue with the degree (will take another 3 years at current
rate) and find another job in which i would get a chance to develop
linuxy skills?
b) stay with the job and ditch (or defer) uni in favour of some sort
of linux-based/related training, which could see me using such skills
in a job in the not too distant future?
I'd appreciate any feedback, especially from those of you who use
gnu/linux as a main os in their job.
thanks,
nik
