changing careers
 

sick to death of gettin full of sh*t everyday so i want complete change.
the idea of designing,running and maintaining websites appeals(coz i'm lazy),and using unix/linux systems is something i tinker with coz i'm nosey and would like to learn more on both but theres so much information out there on both subjects i dont really know where to start.

has any else done a complete career change into this field and pulled it off? can someone point me in a direction to find structured courses that you know to be worthwhile, online/offline/college etc.. eg learndirect do this sorta thing but its just basics an i've done most of it just by experimenting on my 2nd system
google returns soooo many but i'm unsure of what they can offer in terms of industry recognised qualifications, and real life essentials as i have never needed paper to prove my skills.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Nice link. Some really interesting courses there.

Re: changing careers
 

I went for the TSE one, mainly because it includes both MCSE and CCNA.

hmm most seem to be based around windows but nitlc have some bits on html that might be good. i went to red hat but the courses are over £1200 apiece.
i would like to learn a unix/linux system but with my feet stayin on the ground i gotta be able to get work in the real world after my study time. would it be better to learn windows stuff or is it worth the investment in redhats training?
