certification options that have some value in the job market.
How much does an experienced sysadmin make?
My research leads me to believe it’s quite low.
Comment on I'm new to networking and self-hosting and have no idea where to start.

Check out Linux Upskill Challenge there’s a community on programming.dev [relative link]
It’s a bit askew from what you’re asking about but very related and a nice onramp to certification options that have some value in the job market.
As a more direct answer, a bit more of a formal approach to learning networking can be persued by following the networking recommendations at Teach Yourself CS

If your title is system administrator, maybe you don’t get paid as much with the same responsibilities as a DevOps Engineer, System Reliability Engineer, Cloud Computing Engineer etc. Don’t get caught up in titles, sell the value of your skills.

I don’t get caught up in titles. Businesses do.

Yup. Use their flawed methodologies to your advantage.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev
