Guide to System Administration Schools

Simply put, a system administrator is the person responsible for maintaining the working order of all computers in a company or business. In other words, if the hard drive fails, you get to fix it. You’re also responsible for making sure all equipment is up to date and functional.

While an undergraduate degree in computer science is common among system administrators, some do not have any formal education at all, but are rather self-taught.

If you’re not the type of person who knows their way around a computer, then you may want to consider an associate degree in computer repair and maintenance, or an undergraduate degree in computer science.
