Hey everyone,
I'm looking for some advice. I am 38 and I've been working as a Windows admin for the last 10 years (6 in desktop support and 4 as a server admin). Over the last year, I've started finding myself losing interest in my work and starting to drift around and look into other areas of expertise. Primarily, I've been looking more into Linux administration and getting out of Windows almost completely. The only real experience I have in Linux at this point is personal use and light server level work on a personal media server. My broadest question is, am I insane for wanting to completely pivot my career this aggressively, especially at my age? Has anyone else taken on this type of task? Any advise or insight would be greatly appreciated.
