Unix System Administrator Information

Hi,
I'm looking into going to college to become a Unix System Administrator. I have a few questions for people in the career.

1. How did you get into the position? What are some majors I could major in in college to work towards getting the position?

2. How accurate is the information on this site? www.princetonreview.com/Careers.aspx?cid=209&page=1 (especially in the facts and figures area... if you can't get to it without login information I pasted the info from the site below)

3. Could you recommend some sites where I could research information about the career and get accurate information?

Thanks!
