obDoYourOwnHomework: While I'm sure that several people here would be
happy to volunteer to be interviewed, I'm pretty sure we're not going to
think up questions for him.

That having been said, just thought I'd see if my experience is
typical.  I work for a small company (~150 people) non tech company. 
I'm titled a "Network Operations Coordinator" which is HR talk for
"Network Administrator/System Administrator, but if we put administrator
in his title we have to pay him more."

I'm sort of a many hat wearing computer guy.  I admin several systems,
and control great chunks of network too.  

Some of the people out there are sys admins that are just sys admins and
some are net admins that are just net admins, but I think the bigger
category are those that do a little of (or a lot of) both.

Anyway, good luck with the paper.
