SysAdmin + Java Developer =??
LockedI am new to the IT field. I was taking a class in Java programming when I got the opportunity to intern as a systems administrator (assistant) in a graphics company in NYC. Here I have been learning basic networking (NT and Unix) and doing user support (mac), and the opportunity here is to continue learning operating systems and storage issues. I love dealing with people (clearly my strongest skill set) and have LOTS of experience in the medical field doing so. I also enjoy the quasi-creative side of programming and the challenges of systems admin, but I am concerned about making a living in this field with so little experience. I need to decide on what to take some classes in, and I am perplexed by the fork in the road in front of me. Is there a management/sysadmin/developer market out there that I can aim for?
