Here's another unpopular hn opinion.

Don't, go learn past technologies instead. People leaving school for tech in 10 years likely aren't going to have stood up servers and configured services. We'll be lucky if they've used anything that isn't a web gui on a large cloud operation. Rad Hat has already signaled it is going in this direction by tossing out their EX300 exam in favor of the EX294. I believe we will continue seeing such a trend going forward. There's going to be a growing need and shrinking availability of competent sysadmins over the next 10 years if I had to guess.

I respectfully disagree. I see the widespread adoption of these cloud services as condensing the sysadmin skills to those cloud providers and reducing the number required through automation.
