Even SMB jobs could benefit from Linux skills.

System administrator, but that’s a long way off.

Catching up on emails again. Thanks ML.

Sounds like you have the drive to get there.

I’ve flirted with the thought of developmenr; however, I cannot seem to take the plunge.

That's a pretty huge change. That's a full career change, as opposed to a role change.

Not as much as leaving teaching :P. It’s the problem of being interested in everything — something I’ve dealt with for the last 35 years. However, I know I don’t have the drive to become good in the dev world.

I started when I was 8, but have mostly drifted in to sysadmin or telecom/internet. I spent a lot of time in Java, then even more in Ruby, and now that I am working on things again I am having to really get in to Node.js, so at least with sysadmin stuff the knowledge and experience is cumulative as your career grows.
You could almost argue that Windows Server knowledge is a 50% toss out everytime a major version is released where Linux is steady. With your teaching experience you could probably land a nice school admin position. I saw a school librarian convert in the matter of 2 years to district admin (small school district). But she actually become a much better admin than the lazy person they fired who had a lifetime of experience.

Maybe I'm just bitter from UGA's meltdown, but it seems like the vultures have landed on this thread.

Guy hasn't had a chance to even tell us requirements, and [insert vendor here] already has the best possible solution for the requirements that haven't been named. -

The only exception is Kooler from StarWimd he seems to be the only Vendor who actually knows things and not just trying to blindly sell software .

Guy hasn't had a chance to even tell us requirements, and [insert vendor here] already has the best possible solution for the requirements that haven't been named.Its funny because I was looking into SW marketing options and from what I can tell all you get is the opportunity to SPAM everyone with your wares.
The only thing worth a damn in terms of comments are other people who have used and recommend a product.
I have been looking at out of band options from the normal google/facebook/twitter ads, specifically paid Youtube content creators. Not paid fake referrals but those who have followers and would do a product run down, unbiased, etc.
On a past project I had a Verge/Vox article bring me a few thousand sign-ups. Then a week or so later some Youtube video was posted, had never heard of them, and we had about 10,000 sign ups overnight. The video only had 24,000 views.
Targeting seems to be everything now. But still I am sure vendors make a little bit from hussling like that, otherwise they wouldnt keep coming back.
