universities in Aus have access to MSDN for free downloads for
students of all that software if you do decide to go down that
path, but choose your university wisely as they don't always
offer every part of what a sysadmin will do or interact with if
you decide to go down a specific path. Whether that's Linux,
Windows or both, Hardware and SANs or something else even, you
may have to do some self study but it is worth it!  I'd
definitely suggest booting up a linux VM (MS too if you have the
option), learning to install and configure a DHCP and DNS box,
Web Server, ActiveDirectory if possible, and get exposed to all
the elements and see what you really like. Plus its a good head
start on any TAFE and Uni course :)
