SK 101

Time for a brief introduction.

SK (that is me) resides in a very happening town in the Midwest. Home to one of the World's best universities, this town is ideally located in south of Chicago.
I am someone who has spend most of my life learning technology and after my Bachelors in Engineering (Electronics), I decided to enter this fascinating field of information technology. I am not a software programmer. I earned my bread & butter by working as a Unix Administrator. I am in this field of system administration for more than 9 years. By the way I am married to this wonderful woman FK and we have 2 great & hyperactive sons MK (4) & RK (1).

Life was going on fine as usual but somewhere in my mind I have these recurring thoughts (I assume most us in our mid-career have these thoughts):
Where is my career heading for ?
Is this what I want to do my entire life ?
Why I am still working as a Unix Admin where as my colleagues & friends (with same work exp.) have become Team Leads, Managers, Directors & Entrepreneurs ?
Is my present work challenging enough or should I go for a career change ?

All these and many more questions have made a permanent impression in my mind. Education and a keen inclination towards gathering knowledge are the two reasons for me being what I am today, and I have decided that these two factors will shape my future and help me answer those challenging queries in the back of my mind.
