I am just getting started in the IT business. I am beginnig to learn UNIX with a view to network administration. It is hard to get good advice without someone trying to sell you something. What skills are the most marketable for an administrator? I have in mind UNIX, C++, OSX server, Java and Dreamweaver. Any opinions??

The vast majority of job ads for network administrators I see want:
Cisco, AS400 *cringe*, and Sun.

It's a good idea to get networking down first, then think about programming. "The" UNIX network admin's language is Perl or shell scripting. Another great area to specialize is in network security.
