Career Outlook

3% growthAs fast as average (BLS 2024–2034)

3% growth. Cloud migration absorbed a lot of traditional sysadmin work, but the reality is more nuanced: companies still need people to manage hybrid environments where some stuff is on-premise and some is in AWS/Azure. Security responsibilities keep growing too.

Worth knowing: A single cloud certification (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Admin) can bump your salary 10–15%. Having both cloud and security certs (CISSP, Security+) makes you very hard to replace.
