Well you can go the route which most sysadmins do and get enough
degrees/diplomas/certs that a large organization will let you learn on the
job and learn from other sysadmins.  Lets be honest only large organization
really require dedicated sysadmins (SMBs need generalist).

My personal opinion about the situation is there should be a traditional
apprenticeship program to get some qualification.  Obviously I think many
in IT and sysadmin field don't like that idea because it moves away from
the field as a profession.  FWIW I think software development is a
profession, sysadmin is not (I play a sysadmin weekdays 9 to 5).
