Career Guidance
The Fundamentals of UNIX course was designed to give you a strong understanding and foundation of the UNIX network operating system. Now that you have completed the course, what's next? Plenty! The UNIX OS has evolved into a powerful, robust operating system that one can spend a lifetime learning. As a user you can continue to learn more about the UNIX world from a variety of sources including websites, newsgroups, user groups, and of course, books. However, if you really enjoy working with UNIX, the next step might be a career in system administration.
2. Careers in UNIX System Administration
2.1. The profession
Job placement sites (monster.com, dice.com, etc.) can prove that there are plenty of jobs available for UNIX system administrators. So, what is a system administrator?
System administration is a very broad topic, which can make it difficult to define. Generally speaking, a system administrator is someone that sets up UNIX systems (workstations and servers) and handles day-to-day tasks for maintaining a large number of systems; including creating and maintaining user accounts, installing software, ensuring system security, and solvingcomputer and network problems.
In large organizations, system administrators sometimes have specialized roles. Some administrators may focus entirely on creating and maintaining user accounts. Others may focus on system security and others may spend their time ensuring data is successfully backed up in case of a system failure or disaster.
