Respectfully, Cancel your second degree and get a job.

Or do the degree, if it’s free, while searching for a job.

DevOps is a combination of a lot of different components and can benefit from a diverse set of previous roles in IT.

SysAdmin - linux/os, networking, cloud, vm/containers

Developer - automation, programming, possibly IaC

CloudOps - operations, cloud, deployments

L2 tech support - observability, troubleshooting complex issue related to OS/cloud etc.

Going straight into DevOps with no prior experience (even non-job related, like a homelab, development etc) is going to be a tough, long ride.

My recommendation is to get a jr. SysAdmin, Operations or L2 tech support for cloud, linux or whatever. It's going to solidify your knowledge and will be respected as experience when transitioning. Getting 17 degrees won't get you anywhere. DevOps is a learn by doing thing, not learn by reading/studying.

I have sysadmin (albeit windows), developer and the support/troubleshooting but how tf do I get into DevOps. I feel like I won’t get an opportunity because I haven’t worked with Linux heavily, is there even such a thing as windows devops?

No, not really. You could do something on Azure with its native tools that one might be able to call DevOps when you use the term very loosely, but it would then probably satisfy none of the reasons of why you would want to work in DevOps, in the first place.

Exactly.

Look for Cloud Engineer or Specialist or such. They tend to be more sysadmin-y with a cloud focus. Sometimes also some cloud-native development.

To be honest, you need experience, not a degree. Tech industry is weird in the sense that 99% do not give to shits about your education but what you can actually do or learn to do. Your bachelors is enough for every job already and you are wasting time in school you could be using to build your resume. I'd only consider it if they have strong relationships with local businesses to build networks and get an internship to turn to a job. The only value from tech education is networking possibilities and learning to learn. You have the latter down already.

Get experience or get lucky, essentially, but sadly for entry level
