Here is my top 5: 1) Never automate something that you can't do manually yourself and don't fully understand. 2) Advanced skills are good basics. Focus on the basics, everything builds from them. 3) Learn Powershell, BASH/ZSH, and Python. 4) Not everything can, or should, be ran in the cloud. 5) Learn to build your own private cloud.

My journey to the position of IT administrator started with volunteering in that organization. The organization was poor, unable to hire a professional, so after volunteering offered me to stay and work. I got a chance to build everything from scratch and I still do. Thank you for this video, I think you are 100 percent right.

I love this guy to point me the right way. The hardest part about self-taught are stay motivation and perseverance toward your goal.
@pieterwillembotha6719
I knew a few people who were either network or systems adminitrators (actually head of a department) and they told me that they learned everything they needed to know from the ground up, literally, by working from the bottom and sticking with it. Easy to do when it's a topic you're interested in.
@KevtechITSupport
That is correct sir, Azure is good for 30 days. You can sign up for free and use it for 30 days. Labs, labs and more labs help with getting familiar with cloud and getting yourself ready for a system admin role. Did I forget to mentioned labs?
@rdumiak
Great suggestions - Along with Automation, Cloud basics and Home Lab, I would add networking and security basics.
@kaushallegion2112
I agree with you 100%, automate whatever you can a because you can allocate your time on learning new things like troubleshooting, performance analyzing and tuning.
@heyitsbroski
Systems Administrator here. I cover a ton of different technologies and just completed my AWS and Azure program. Surprisingly, I do not do any automation yet.
@celestialadministration
Coursera, skillshare and udemy. The first one is the best because you won't snooze or become less engaged.
@hristokoemdzhiev6710
I've heard from sysadmins that there are two types of skills needed to be successful in the industry and with colleagues. Industry: CCNA for network fundamentals Linux PowerShell Phyton More but that's the main ones for colleagues you need to know the following: 1.MANA 2.DPS 3.AOE 4.No afk 5. All the classes and their skill cooldowns on Lineage , so you can anticipate and really level up your PvP
@techdad7695
I would also like to add keep learning and keep pressing forward. Employers like to see self-driven individuals, they stand out from the pack.
@gabe9832
Networking and communication skills are probably the most important in my opinion !
@incrediblez394
Right now I'm going over new A+ and network+. Also gonna cover the windows 10 administration book. See if I can find an entry level position. I'll start at low end. Just want an opportunity to build experience.
@aniketchauhan2626
Having a critical thinking and problem solving with Networking and security things will make you better sys admin and learning about virtualization and hardware is a plus as well
@liamcrowder7760
Always skeptical of videos like this but this all legit advice.
@prabathpallewela5053
Great suggestions. Home lab ,power shell , cloud .
@tmasst07
Take a system administrator and or a help desk technician/engineer to lunch and dinner and pick their brain. Set up a mentor-mentee schedule. While I definitely agree that learning on your own produces excellent level of mastery if you are disciplined and stay with your training schedule 1 to 4 hours a day a good Mentor can shave countless precious hours and years off of your learning time and understanding time especially when it comes down to the heart of what we do in system administration... Troubleshooting!
