I’m trying to decide whether it would be worth spending an additional 2 years upgrading my associates to a bachelor’s in CS or not.

I don’t see much of a demand for the RHCSA in my area (Toronto, Canada) but I see that basically every job posting has a degree requirement.

I’d be 25 by the time I finish school with the degree but I honestly just want to start applying for jobs I don’t want to waste time.

I have the A+, CCNA and LFCS. I get my associates next week.

I’m aware that I’ll probably get a bunch of responses of people saying “I don’t have a degree or certifications!” but I’m genuinely confused as to how you’re in IT without either of those things unless you knew someone or got in very early so some elaboration would be nice.

    I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

    Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

        If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.
