Becoming A Systems Administrator

Another good idea, work as a system administrator. I think they can get paid anywhere from $40,000 to $120,000 a year. I think it’s a decent job because I wouldn’t want to do it all my life. I’m going to need to learn systems administration anyways, if I plan on doing business on the internet in the future.

A systems admin will maintain and operate a network of computer systems. This includes tasks such as: installing, supporting, and maintaining servers or other computer systems, and planning for and responding to service outages and other problems. Systems admins also learn more advanced things such as scripting, light programming, and/or supervise and train computer operations, they are also the consultant for any computer problems beyond technical support. They must know a lot about computer security.

I’m going to be looking more into it, maybe start learning and get my certifications this year.

I’m doing this to better myself, so in-case I’m not capable of creating my own successful businses. I can instantly drop everything and get paid a $80k+ year job, easily. It’s also to expand my range of skills so I can open myself up to further opportunities in multiple directions.
