Just because you are new, doesn't mean you have to go to college to learn Linux Administration.

Slow down, mate. Don't get too far ahead of yourself.
Have a go at the VirtualBox setup and try out some stuff on Linux BEFORE you make a massive financial commitment. -
@nadnerB ok Boss thanks. Lol. l'll set up virtualBox start to learn.

Have a go at the VirtualBox setup and try out some stuff on Linux BEFORE you make a massive financial commitment.This is what I was trying to get at. Investing in training is a good thing, if you are certain that is what you want to do.
But start by getting a basic understanding of what it is you might be doing, before you go and invest in training.

can someone explain.which one good career future forward and good pay ahead in better future.
Well, that depends on where you are in the world. Linux is more common in some countries, while Windows more is common in others.
If you have no idea, a starting point could be to have a look a job websites in your area and see what's in demand.In what country is Windows more common? I thought that the US was the most-Windows centric country, and it's dramatically Linux leading.

AFAIK, It's more common here in Australia. I don't have any stats to back myself up that's why I haven't gone all sweeping generalisation on everyone... I left room for error

In fact, the discussions around the usefulness of college pretty much always assume that you are new, people who are not new in IT don't normally discuss college.

This is very important. You should know a lot of basics before considering training. Otherwise you will likely not get much or any value from the training. And in nearly all cases, you can teach yourself far better, far faster without the training.

No, you don't need a trainer for Linux. That's true with VMware, but not for any Linux cert (or any cert I would accept on a resume - boot camps and required classes equal valueless cert to me as a hiring manager, that's just a cert saying you showed up, not that you learned anything.)
For Linux certs you get a book, you install Linux and you learn. If you have any struggles doing that, you should reconsider your career plans because that's how you will need to learn for your entire career. That will never go away just because you got your foot in the door. People who need classes to get started in IT normally fail shortly thereafter when they find that there are no classes for their continuing growth and without that growth they go nowhere.

If you don't know these technologies already, you aren't anywhere close to knowing what career paths you want to pursue yet. Explore some things, you need to find something that you are really interested in.

@scottalanmiller yeah Great good scott.

Hi Jimmy.
Have you taken a look at 'system administrator' job postings for your location, or locations where you can see yourself living? If your market is on the smaller side, jobs might pivot toward Windows administration or Linux administration. My city, for example, is extremely Windows. Our main industries are medical/engineering/manufacturing - meaning lots of desktops running Windows and lots of Windows infrastructure managing it.If I drive 4 hours away, there's another town (Silicon Valley of Montana), with new startups dealing mainly in web/analytics/big data/SaaS. 3 of every 4 job postings there are for Linux sysadmins.
Know your market. If you're in a big city, I don't think you can do any harm with either. Follow your heart. But smaller places tend to be dominated by two or three industries that may not give you that freedom.
