If you have no experience with the professional administration of computer systems, and have no educational credentials to use on your own behalf, like a CS/CE degree, then your best bet is to start at the bottom of the pile and work your way up.

To start at the bottom of the pile, try to find a company like an ISP near you, and offer to work nights or weekends to get your foot in the door. ISPs tend to grow more well rounded SysAdmins than traditional corporate IT departments.

Be eager to learn. Don't expect anyone to hold your hand. Be self-sufficient. If you're not the sort of person who just naturally knows how to solve problems, then you probably won't be a very good sysadmin, although you may make a fine programmer, project manager, or system analyst (as in the people who run the apps on the systems, rather than the people who run the systems).
