I've got an MA in speech/language pathology and 10 years of tinkering with Debian and Fedora boxes under my belt. Any way to volunteer somewhere on nights/weekends to get experience? As a school employee, I work 182 days/yr, have several weeks off during the school year, and have June and July off each year and I always feel like there's something I could be doing with time other than messing around with some bash scripts that would look good to a potential employer.
