How to become a System Administrator
The most common question I get is "How do I become a system administrator". While I can't give a tailored answer to everyone that asks that, I take a look at the advice on the internet and give you my thoughts on it.

Love your videos! I switch industries and had to start over with my career journey which has been challenging, but I actually had an interview for a Systems Supervisor recently! My background includes: Bachelors and Masters degree (completely unrelated to tech field), 1 previous tech job as a software automation tester (which I used as a stepping stone into IT world), 1 previous job in project/program management, AWS cloud Practitioner certified, Scrum Master certified, VERY Basic entry level skills: bash scripting, python, json & yaml (I don't like coding lol), mySQL workbench, git, AWS cloud, software development process and testing. I also have a very basic understanding of network and databases. System Administrator position varies greatly from company to company, as do most IT roles, so try to find those that fit your knowledge set. One last fun fact : NONE of my previous boss or managers had upper level degrees or certifications and they told me they just "got lucky" ! Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing! I’m sure this will be helpful for those looking to get into the IT industry.
Noticed last 10 years, Jr roles have vanaished. Though Support level 2 or really 3 can be considered jr admin but IT jobs aren’t that great with job titles
Selam Henok, glad seeing another habesha fellow in this industry. Nice! well put together! I'll come with more questions. Thanks
I'm a Desktop Support Technician looking to do Sys Admin. Love your videos very appreciative.🙌
Bro this video is so HELPFUL! thank you so much.
This was really helpful, thank you!
I have interview for this job and this video is very helpful , thank you
Love your videos! You have helped me out a bunch with finding the right path to take
May I ask your thoughts on the AZ-104 vs DP-300 , would you say A-104 is more System Admin useful vs DP-300?
Thanks for the helpful video! This may sound like a silly question, sorry, but as a sys admin what kind of personal projects could one work on?
You are the best sir
Nice and interesting video, thank you! If a person has passion and persistence (kind of KAIZEN method, baby steps), then everything is possible.
Hi, Is there any free certifications for system admin ? could you recommend some of them
Great video! Found your channel by searching for system administrator. With Microsoft moving away from the certs like MCSA MSCE, what alternative certs would you recommend? Currently in the role of service desk/help desk seeking to advance to jr sys adm.

Maybe their Azure focused certifications if you want to stay Windows based. Otherwise, any of the CompTIA like A+, Network+, Linux+, Server+ and also the CCNA if you can help it. I would prioritize a networking cert and one other that fits the role you want to pursue.

I have a question, could I find a remote job like sysadmin jr? I feel that 95% of the IT / technology jobs are for programmers

You can definitely find a remote sysadmin job. It usually depends on how the company manages their infrastructure, if it's in-house then most likely not. I don't think IT jobs are for programmers but roles like sysadmin are starting to want people than can code. This is because companies are adopting the cloud, devops mentality and infrastructure as code (IaC).

as mentioned, helpdesk or desktop support is where you can most likely start.
I work in a team of 12 and none of us have degrees.

What if your self taught and will only do 16 hour part time work? due to benefit reasons. Can you show that your self taught? I just dont like office politics.
