(i mean those jobs which enables us to work at home, such as "live support" for web-hosting)

Work with computers, putting them together, installing software, for a couple of years. Set up a server "just for fun". Create web-sites on a regular basis. Read as many magazines as possible. Stay on top of software and hardware news. Be a problem-solver in other areas as well, so you are used to trying to find the cause.

That is my opinion. A few classes in network-admin and such is also a plus. Sorry I don't have a job for you, but my web-hosting is in my mind olny at the moment.:)

The best internet qualification is experience IMO! There are interesting courses you can do like the RHSE etc.. but as an employer - I would be looking for real world experience over qualifications.

Does that make sence?

Not really but it does help to be able to configure them to work (e.g. chmod, editing php.ini)

and a very good knowlege of security is a must!
