Very good question! Unfortunately it is a bit complicated as it really depends on your discipline or area of focus. The CompTIA Linux+ is a good start and gives you a good ideal of how to work on and around systems, but again your focus is going to be what really guides your process.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (ldap/active directory) This is skillset for very large organizations or companies.
Domain Name System (DNS/bind), a must to understand and know.
Programming (Development work) – self explanatory.
Network Administrator (switching, ethernet, routing, fiber, cabling, user support)
Network Architecture (Access, network, wan, lan, and wifi deployments)
Cloud Administrator…. The AWS certifications are very good to have right now.
And so on. My path was gaining knowledge on things I was assigned or things that I was working on, as a result I had to learn DNS, then switching and networks, then cloud deployments, I learned SIP/VOIP, …
I would say getting certifications really helps in some areas, in others the certs are worthless. I work in a field of very limited knowledge and have no certs for this particular task, the people under me have a lot of certifications but zero knowledge because they never really learned how to admin under learning diverse tasks.
I’ll pop back in the thread later with a longer response this weekend.
