How do I become a sysadmin with no experience and a CS degree

Find a sysadmin assistant job or an internship. My degree is associated with foreign languages, but i work as netsec intern starting with the very bottom shit

Also, if you're going into administrating or networking, certifications are your bread and butter and are WAY more valuable than a college degree. Pass a good recognized cert or start studying for one.

>>59397289
all the jobs are see require 3-5 years of experience, and I get shit for trying to apply for the classical 'IT guy' jobs because the only requirement is a highschool diploma

>>59397310
which are good starting point certs? comptia a+ and/or network+?

>>59397317

idk where the fuck you're searching but a lot of enterprises and research facilities require admins, just bulk email them and explain your situation

i got two offers in a month back when i was a foreign language student with no experience at all, but stated that i wanted to learn and had clear plans for my career

also who are you getting shit from you retard, those 3 years of being IT guy are fucking obligatory to get an actual experienced admin/engineer position. theres no shame in starting from the bottom, only dumbasses think that way

>>59397341
depends on your field, comptia is a waste of fucking time, recognized certs in networking are cisco ones, start with CCNA or CCENT if you want a safety net

How the fuck do you have a cs degree and no systems experience? f Are they just giving them out?

Why

>>59397362
Comp. Sci doesn't come with system administration courses at some schools. OP's case is probably just that.

>idk where the fuck you're searching
a undeveloped shithole of a country filled people who either think they'll only get experienced for their positions or make students slave away

>>59397362
>>59397372
It's actually a ce degree, only related subjects are networking, 2 unix subjects, intro to OS' and such

undeveloped shitholes are the prime place for admins because of fucked infrastructure and incompetent workers. im from russia so i should know. start legit searching for internship/assistant job, it will give you a lot of experience and useful connections

and once again absolutely no shame in starting from the bottom, a proper admin/networking/security specialist should be able to build and maintain infrastructure from the very lowest level starting with using multimeters and soldering stuff. the more vast your knowledge, the better you are. this field isn't for meme pajeet code pasters or web "developers" who learn some abstraction and think everyone else is below them, you're gonna be the person actually knowing how shit works on every level and what to do with it

Being a femnazi and blowing some cuck to get a recruiting job

Currently working as a SysAdmin at government installation with no college and ~7 years experience.

This guy has it right, certs are fucking crucial. I have Security+ (required to stay IAT II compliant) and Server+

Everyone here uses Server 2012 though it's a fucking cakewalk, especially since all the policies are already in place, I'm just in charge of making it work

I agree, it's just that after several years you get tired of constantly being fed the "you'll get an amazing job when you finish college!" mentality. Can't really blame them, they all grew up on farms, often in poverty.So getting a lowpaying job at start makes it seem, to them, like you're some retard who spent all that time in college for nothing. And I'm doing my specialist degree as well, so they're even more serious about it.
But yea, the only times I've seen a job I could qualify for was a single company hiring a junior system engineer, nothing else.
I'll start asking around college if any of the professor's have anything to offer, the majority of them are actual developers/engineers who give lectures here for extra cash.
It's also hilarious how the dean keeps posting these job ads which most often require 5 years of experience in specific technologies.
I guess for now, in my free time, I can only fuck around with windows server/lunix at home?
thanks to you both

I got this job by going to a chilly cookoff and socializing.
I'm now a software engineer for a wealth management with no education.

If you have the degree, then experience is all you need. Get something junior to start, make some money, live the struggle, network a TON and make some friends in higher places. A lot of times, if you stick with a company and they see you're not fucking retarded, they can promote you from within and waive some of the experience needed for some mid and sr. jobs.

Also never take a job you wouldn't want to post on a resume

Are you me? I bet I know you. Ex-commie country?

I think I'll take a comptia a+ first, should also teach me things I never bothered to learn before.
Hope Messer's videos and this random book is okay

huge corporates.. they will have tons of experienced L3 level guys, but will always lack people on L1.. backup, nw, linux/unix, etc... (all kind of jobs that an uni dont straigh prepare u for - you may have mayne one course of networking, unix, etc.. and thats all) you only need some basic knowledge and you are in, they will teach you the necessary stuff u need to do ur job in the first few months, then you can slowly build your way up
even if not straight to some corporate, then through an outsourcing company, they literally take everyone because half of the people don't wanna loose that small cut that an outsourcing company would take and they are always in need of newbies...
