Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts (ALE) is a diverse group of friendly people who enjoy the freedoms and benefits of GNU Linux Computing and Free Liberating Open Source Software technologies. From novices to network administrators, from smart phones to data centers, we strive to empower every information technology user with freely distributable software and to improve every computing environment with the superior security, functionality and flexibility of Open Source Operating System solutions.

Abstract:
====
Linux skills are HOT!
People with Linux skills receive almost 2x the average annual raises compared to other technology workers.
Which Linux certificates payback 3x almost immediately (at your next job)?
Which skills are the hottest, highest paid, based on recent research?
Which F/LOSS skills are NOT high paying, on average?
How to migrate from the lowest paying positions and get the career you really want.
Plus assorted musings about careers in IT and the odd paths that people take to get Linux into their daily job. YMMV.
