<div dir="ltr">Kids will always be kids, and there will always be competition.<div>I think competition is good. Otherwise - go be a Cobol developer. No competition there, you know. Not in five years time, when everyone who knows something will retire.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Linux is a dynamic and evolving profession. It gets more and more into the core systems of companies' infrastructure. It becomes, well, a commodity OS.</div><div><br></div><div>There is always a shortage of excellent people. Moderate, you'll find anywhere you look. Good you'll find some. Excellent - hardly ever. These people get nice jobs, and get a whole selection with their price tag, be it high (well, reasonable, but high). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Be a Linux sysadmin. Be a good Linux sysadmin, think like you should in a corporate, but have the spark to rethink old concepts and force others around you to think of them (don't nag, though), to examine them. See that corporates (in Israel, in particular) are very conservative, and very slow-moving, and think of how, with OSS technologies, you can make things better, more efficient, more manageable, but still - make it fully documented, make it fitting to a corporate and fully usable to the person who would be there after you. Be excellent, and I tell you - I would be happy to employ you myself. </div>

Where are some good places to get a certificate from? Is an online<br>
certificate as good as an offline course? What online certificates are<br>
honourable? What real-world courses in Israel are recommended?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
