Hey all....well this will be an interesting first post 
I have a question for you. I would like you to be as non-biased as you can. I would also not like this to turn into a flame war.
Thanks...
OK. I am an MCSE in Windows NT 4.0, and I am also Linux+ Certified. I have about 5 years in the IT field. I started off in tech support about 5 years ago, and now I am a network engineer for a large hospital. We have about 1200 Computers, and 50 server. 10 of the servers are Novell, and the rest are NT, and Win2000.
I really like linux/unix. I also work on Cisco switches and routers. I guess what I'm saying is I have a "broad knowlege" of a lot, and I have a somewhat deep knowledge of MS Servers/desktops and networking.
I'm 29 years old, I have no college degree, and I make around $50,000 annually. I am looking for a career where I never have to deal with 'users'. I am stuck in deciding what to do. I really like Operating Systems. I also like hardware and Cisco stuff. I want to pick the "next best thing" in IT. I want to pick a direction that will not be obselete soon I want to make a bit more money too.
Right now I'm doing mixed server support/switch and router maintenence/desktop support.
I want to know what you think I should do. Should I go deep in Cisco? Should I get going in HP-UX/Sun Solaris/Linux? Should I go deeper with Microsoft?
If you've read all this, I really appreciate it. Thanks!
Peace out, and Happy Easter.
