What age is young? My first tech/network admin job was at 19. All I had was personal experience in setting up computers and fvcking around with Linux / Windows OS. I was interviewed and they asked me a bunch of computer hardware / networking questions which I was able to answer. Plus, it helps to have some people skills, and not be a complete nerd like 95% of my fellow engineering students 😉
