Don't fret over it if you're just 20 - you've got plenty time!
Two methods of achieving your goal:
1. Get a formal qualification. (yeah, I know..)
2. Get to know your local geeks. Get known by them. (Linux Users
Group, Linuxchix chapter - whatever you can.)
Get an entry level job in anything technical - preferably Unixy -
through them. (How? Become known. Help at installfests. Help at
any local charity sysadminning stuff - even as a junior tech. And
let them know you're after work. A note in the .sig can work. :) )
Good luck.
