Hi all, iv'e been out of school for a while now, and i decided not to go to college because i was going to get some qualifications like MCSE etc...etc... ok well after i left school i started using Linux/BSD again and i decided i would never use a windows box again except for gaming..........iv'e been using linux about 6 months so i know my fair share.


Anyway more to the point i want to get into the computer industry some where, weather it be a networking engineer, administration(with unix/linux systems) or something to do with internet security in genereal .

Ok so heres to the people who know what there talking about, how easy is it to get into the indsutry? and what qualifications should i go for to get into this line of work obviousely it's not easy because you have to know what your doing, and if you get into some company and say you dont know how to do something it's going to make you look bad etc...etcc... so basically tell me how i should go about getting into the industry and what steps i should take, thank you in advance.

ps. I have great enthusiasm for networking/security/programming basically anything that has 1's and 0's and has a keyboard.
