[Linux-aus] Admin certificate help!

[Kanchana Wickremasinghe]

Hi Graeme,

It is never too old to start a career or start something new. 
Certificates are secondary if you can learn and have the ability to 
apply what you had learn, I believe that is more valuable than getting a 
certificate.

If you are a fast learner of programming languages you should be able to 
pick-up most of these languages very quickly. Also there are heaps of 
Frameworks available today so that you don't have to hand-code 
everything from scratch. Therefore a good knowledge of Frameworks will 
be important as well if you decided to become a developer.

However you may also want to think about whether you wants to become a 
admin or a developer.

My 2 cents worth !!!

Good luck and all the best !!!!
