I knew MySQL and PostgresSQL were available, but I'm still slowly learning my way around Linux.Neat. I'd rather not go down the help desktop route much more, since that's what I do now and it's not my cup of tea. The second doesn't sound too bad, especially if I can get a "taste" of different job function (network admin, coding, and database).I make an "okay" salary at my current job, $11 an hour, good for entry-level support, bad sometimes for the many hats I sometimes have to wear. My next job I'd hope to make $15 an hour with some certs and more experience, is that practical with operations support?I do have a Bachelor's degree, if in an unrelated field. My "tech support" position gives me more insight than I ever thought possible.I have my A+ book and study guide; I've been fairly lazy studying for it. I definitely think Network + is next.Do you think MCSA/MCSE is worth the money so early in my career?Thanks everyone for the advice.</blockquote>
