I just saw the new IT course Google have put out in partnership with Coursera

This has added to some thoughts I’d been having recently about looking into Sys Admin roles. Since working in Node I’ve found I really enjoyed using Linux, servers and Vim. While I also enjoyed the front end track on FCC I’m thinking there might be more opportunities in IT roles near me. I’m nowhere near applying for such roles but for the next 12-18 months it makes sense to dedicate to either something like the Google course or FCC.
Is anyone else living outside big cities like SF or London thinking along these lines? Certainly where I am in the UK I can see a clearer path to entry level IT positions than JS coding roles.
