Ok so I'm about to finish my bacc in psychology and I don't know what to do with my life.

I always was interested in computers and network security though and always wanted to be a sysadmin so I'm thinking about doing it.

Do you know if there is still jobs or if the market is saturated ? I know the market for coders is saturated in north america and it wasn'tlike that 5 years ago so this is why I ask.

Any input ?

From what I've heard, *nix sysadmins are in big demand (and get paid significantly more than Win sysadmins). So are good programmers...especially .NET programmers...

if you want to get a job as a sysadmin, a psychology degree isnt going to get you too far

It might come in handy when dealing with management if he specialized in abnormal psychology. :)

Sorry, wouldn't know about the job prospects for sysadmins, just found that comment to have a lot of truth to it...
