Linux/Unix jobs

I have recently completed the A+, and I'm looking at my next conquest (

)

I have been playing around with linux for a while, and I quite like it, so I thought I would take the linux+ and see how that goes. I do want to know what the market is like for unix/linux specialists and the salaries you could expect? If anyone who is an admin could chime in, that would be even better. Awesome.

There are lots of linux/unix sysadmin jobs around and the majority pay about 10-20% higher than microsoft sysadmin jobs.

Do a search on salary.com for system administrator and unix administrator, compare them and read the job description.

I've been getting mailed about unix/linux positions since I have linux on my resume. There's a good niche market for it for sure. There's also a number of places that are looking for windows/linux hybrid experience.

Look into a telco company. They mainly deal with *nix and cisco. If you know one you can usually pick up the other really easily.
