IT Career Advice for an Aviator

I am always looking to keep my options open and although employed in helicopter aviation, I am considering a career change to IT. I have always had an interest in computing and have a diploma in computing.

As part of my job I have had some IT exposure, sidelining as a system administrator for a couple of years managed small IT workgroups mainly using Win 98/NT4/ Win2000. I have recently made a foray into Linux and am considering what quals to work towards whether Linux, Windows or indeed any other quals.

I would appreciate any advice from any gurus on what courses would be useful, salaries, areas to specialise, qualifications to work towards. I am in my early 30's but am not in a hurry to change careers.

Thanks in advance for any help.
