[Infographic] Plan the Perfect IT SysAdmin Career Path

Your career as a sysadmin requires a lot of decisions. Many times, your decisions will not come down to either-or scenarios, but rather if-when choices. If your organization uses Microsoft products, then it's a good idea to get certified in those products.
