according to the pic you should code non stop while just eating hot pockets and sucking down energy drink.

Thanks fampai
Now how do I become a sys admin?

So you're telling me there's another way? Are you fucking insane?

You can start from the helpdesk and work your way up with diligent self study and networking (the social kind, not the computer kind) like everyone else.

Keep in mind that without a degree you'll hit a ceiling eventually for pay and responsibilities, around mid-thirties or so.

The way I became a sys admin:
- Took a job doing a not-very-technical call center job for Cisco (presales... Basically just read a spec sheet)
- Started using Linux in my daily life, got used to the command line and figured out how to break and unbreak things
- Used my experience there to move to a more technical call center job with Netgear ProSupport
- Used my experience and basic Linux understanding to apply for a slightly more technical job doing Tier 1 support for the e-commerce wing of a major telco
- Asked lots of questions, sought out answers before going right to a senior engineer
- Offered contract job with previously mentioned e-commerce wing of major telco doing not-so-technical stuff
- Watched and learned, asked questions, helped admin team in any way I could
- Offered full time employee status and a move to the sys admin team

And now I'm a sys admin, and have been for about the past 5 years.

My advice isn't good, but it boils down to (1) get a ground floor semi-tech gig (2) work hard and ask questions to learn things above what you do day to day (3) treat people well and get noticed when people have good shit to say about you.

See, this guy just said all that shit I just said but in so many less words.

I bet he's better at scripting than I am...
