Evulish, I couldn't agree with you more. To get a good paying IT job you need to know a lot of skills and be very agile. Like...
* Knowing everything you can about Windows, Mac OS, and Linux like the back of your hand. Both old and new systems too.
* Knowing how to repair personal PCs and large servers
*Knowing how to use a command line interface (Windows, Unix, etc)
* Knowing a little programming is always a good thing
* Knowing everything about the equipment you use
*Knowing how to make cables (RJ-45, serial, etc), both male and female
* Knowing a little bit about carpentry is ideal too
Basically the more you know the better you are
