I have found myself in a similar situation, but I was introduced to Linux and open source through a coworker in 2009. It has been my home OS ever since. Three years ago I retired from the Marine Corps, where I worked in the communication field, and I finished my Bachelors degree last year. Looking at the job market some jobs do seem out of reach based on job description and a lot of jobs I have found require multiple certifications from Microsoft or CompTIA, but your article has provided a new prospective on the job market. Thank you for sharing your open source work experience.
