I am an associate level System Administrator. Its a lot of fun and can be extremely overwhelming. You are expected to do just about everything. I had good base knowledge and my boss really liked that, I was also familiar with the DoD network so that was a big plus. I touch just about everything excluding database stuff. We are big on Windows/vmware stuff. We dip our toes into linux but just for STIGing servers. Its very rewarding and you can branch off to a lot of stuff since there is so much you have to learn.

I think job shadowing is very important esp when you are actively working in an entry level support role to really dig in and observe and get that hands on experience. I'm currently working in a Desktop Support Technician role although it is technically a Level 2 role a step up from Help Desk and a step down from Sysadmin. I'm currently doing all the training on my own with my home server labs, along with cloud Administration and then stay late after to work and job shadow with the Sysadmin off the clock.

This is great. Awesome gems you drop. I have my CompTIA A+, CCNA, CCNA SECURITY, and studying CompTIA Linux+. But I realize what you’re confirming, it’s not what you know, it’s who know. I have interviewed for help desk, but don’t get job cause HR says I’m over qualified. The network administrator jobs want a B.S degree and 8yrs+ of experience. I’m not giving up, but for real, some days are frustrating. I have LinkedIn, monster, zip recruiter, Dice, career builder searching for me. I live in Southern California, a tough job market. Also don’t want to relocate to other state, but I’ve considered Vegas as far as I’ll go. I’m going to do what you advised, GET CONNECTED. Good looking my friend.

Sys admin jobs have such strict requirements yet i dont know any sys admins that actually have all those desires skills.

I just went from IT tech II to a System and Network Admin II. AA, BA, ccna, ccent, sec+. Love the sys admin role but want to grow into InfoSec over time and into pentesting hopefully.

I'm doing CISCO cert, and Packet Tracer is a treasure.

I've been a sysadmin for a few years. I highly recommend virtual box for your labs. Get yourself a pfsense router in there networked to your domain controllers. I would avoid snapshots by the way on domain controllers and use the inbuilt windows backup. USN rollback isn't fun if you have multiple domain controllers on a non AD aware hypervisor.

This is awesome because this is the situation I'm in right now. At the helpdesk, getting certs, trying to get out of helpdesk. Thank you! Also, can I ask what the star trek screen behind you is?

a fun project to do is I use parallels as my virtual machine and set up a Splunk distributed search infrastructure using cent OS it's free to do and Splunk documentation is great also looks great on the resume

Currently, about to graduate with my associates in IT at the end of the year and taken many courses that are involved with many of the different certs out there from Security+ to AWS, Im just watching different videos to mentally prepare myself to learn what to expect and take the real certification tests.

A lot of it is luck. I prayed a lot and things worked out for me.

I'm leaving a company as an "IT Specialist" to a "endpoint sys admin" and my main function is mdm/intune/azure admin.. titles basically don't mean anything in IT anymore.

Great job. You answered a lot of questions I had on this topic.

[fodwod]

This is a great video, I just wish he explain in more detail a couple of things I honestly have never heard of.

[stephanc]

I like everything you say but you didn’t mention on which cert to start. I got my CCNA and I was looking for a job I ending up in Desktop support but I really wanna be a network engineer or a network Admin or system admin.

[Hi_Twichy]

Hey, thanks for the video as they are very helpful and are helping me pick my career path. I’m only in grade 11 and I have some time, but if anyone in the field wants to give and tips on what degrees, certifications or programs to get/ do would be very helpful. thanks
