My turn for a work-related query!
Having worked in various roles over the years which involved system admin work, networking etc but in a non-commercial environment, I am thinking I would like to move into commercial sys admin / networking work. Problem is I have no commercial qualifications: I know enough about filesystems, fundamental TCP/IP concepts for example, but little about things such as running Server 2008, Exchange, Cisco switches, ITIL etc. Think I would prefer a more hands-on role than aiming to be data architect (for example).
So, I am thinking some kind of self-tuition leading to certs would be useful: which are the most in-demand/valued? I am thinking MCSE would be useful, but would server 2008 or 2012 be best? CCNA looks valuable, but I am not sure I would want to be setting up networks all day.
Any advice much appreciated.
Edit: wrong forum, sorry, please move mods! The irony is not lost on me….
