By employed I mean get a job in the industry either offline or online. Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.

    Definitely, working at a datacenter that had managed and colo services helped me bridge the gap between helpdesk and sysadmin. I got to see different enterprise systems that some companies may not ever have - VMware, backup suites, server hardware, NAS hardware, server management systems, Cisco equipment, the list goes on. That combined with a community college course I took that was for the CCNA security exam helped me ace my sysadmin job interview. I still learned a ton once I got that position, but I knew the basics and that was good enough for them.
