If I might add to this one.
I would push people towards Linux and or any Unix flavor over winders any
day. The ease of remote access, command line, and better pay are the big
factors. Also note that every Tom, Dick and Harry trade school cranks out
Microsoft certified what evers and yada yada yada.
The general question though is there is no real firm career path. I
started by cofounding an ISP way back in the dark ages and the actual work
experience did more for my career than any classes ever could. Bottom line
though is you have to start getting your hands on the gear and do the work.
A standard BS degree is probably a great start today, back in my day that
was sketchy at best. Also, learn the very complex issues either things like
Storage or what I did was learn Cisco gear specifically and Network
engineering generally. Basic tier 1 types are easily shipped over seas or
out sourced. The more complex your skills and experience the more value and
less likely you'll be farmed out. Also, depending, be ready to change jobs
frequently. If you play the tech game, especially start ups, you'll be
shifting around a lot as businesses fail and or new ones form.
Good luck!
