Re: What would you do in my situation?



jtpryan@xxxxxxxxx sez:
....I'm thinking what skills could I
improve, or certifications could I get, to improve my chances of
getting into one of these sectors in an admin/security role. I firmly
believe age is a huge factor here, that they would be looking for
somebody my age to have management experience. Am I wrong?

Sysadmins commonly believe that you don't train for admin role,
you get sucked into it -- if you are the right man for the job.
