Hi everyone! I've been diving into Linux for about two years now, mainly focusing on RHEL systems. I've got my RHCSA certification and also completed my CKA certification. To stay sharp, I participate in a Linux work group every Thursday that helps both new and experienced users prepare for the RHCSA exam. I'm asking for some advice on where to go from here. While I've been teaching myself Python and Ansible, and I'm planning to start learning about Argo CD, I feel a bit lost on my direction. I'm reading my RHCSA study guide, as well as a book with 100 interview questions for Linux SysAdmins to fill in my knowledge gaps. I got into tech not only out of interest, but also for financial stability. With the rise of AI, I'm a bit concerned about the job market and want to position myself well. I understand it's a long journey, and I'm committed, but I want to know if I'm taking actionable steps that could lead to a job soon. Any feedback or criticism would be greatly appreciated. Just to clarify, I've learned all of this independently without formal schooling.

Where can I sign up for that study group you mentioned? Sounds like a great way to learn!
I wouldn't stress about AI taking over sysadmin roles. AI-generated tech usually creates more tech debt that needs management, so the human element will still be critical.
You've got a solid foundation! I'd suggest expanding your skills into DevOps areas like Docker, GitOps, cloud computing, and Kubernetes. You might want to check out the roadmap at roadmap.sh/devops for guidance!
It sounds like you're on the right track! Have you thought about applying for a Linux SysAdmin role? Getting hands-on experience will teach you a lot, and you'll earn while doing it. Just dive in and go for it!
