Part of this is not correct. RHEL releases as often as not do not directly correspond to a specific Fedora release. I stumbled upon this myself when I tried to use Fedora packages in RHEL for some things (using packages for the same release of Fedora that the RHEL release was based on). Neither RHEL6 nor 7 was based on a single Fedora release:

@dustinb3403 I legit just did forgot password to log in here and downvote your comment. Apparently I dont yet have the reputation for it. So now I’ll have to work on that so that I can come back and downvote it.

As someone who works in the IT world and is generally surrounded by people who aren't very good at their jobs, the "how can I enter the field making $80k" bit is pretty off-putting. I totally understand wanting to make a living wage, but when you lead off with that, I feel like "you know what, I can find someone who is totally new at this with no practical work experience for way less than $80k." Maybe I'm making a judgement that I shouldn't be from not much text, but I'm not so sure I'm wrong.

@scottalanmiller The number aside, someone asking "how can I go from basically no experience to entering this career" and has a salary number in mind in practically his opening sentence, I'm personally going to draw a conclusion. I've been interviewing people pretty much continuously since July, and since I don't need another useless co-worker, I'm on the lookout for red flags, and this one is a red flag to me (as are people who apply for jobs they're clearly not qualified, or who list work experience that is clearly not worth the salary they're asking for). I can't imagine I'm the only person on earth interviewing that would draw that conclusion, especially when the primary question is how to learn the field.
