Dont hate ma game we all here for the same reasons,We here to get tha green paper throughout all seasons.C.R.E.A.M
Just that my job ask for a little more than what the ccna cover. Base on what I see in Jamaica companies want one know who know ever little thing, I tell myself when I done my Masters and get to management I don't want my Network Admin to b doing the sys admin job or the programmer job. What he if that one main IT person should cut? you know what will happen?

Thing i notice is that in Jamaican companies they want u know every little thing there is but they are not willing to pay you for every little thing. Its good to know every little thing because you are more marketable when it come on to job but when u get the job, the work load is a lot at some place.
I would rather be a DBA any day over a network admin.
As been beaten to death above, those are two different horses in the IT race.
However, (I believe) a systems administrator (not Network Admin, specificially) provides the greatest breath of experience and garner the greatest degree of job security throughout most companies, any where in the world.
Reason?
A (true) systems administrator must understand server installs, configuration and maintenance, (Active) Directory management, network (OSI-TCP/IP) support and (some degree of ) database administration.
He/She may not design datbases and generate queries all day, but (at the very least) should be expected to maintain and repair the server they run on.
He will be exposed to (RADIUS) Authentication and Security, Terminal, Internet/Web, Database, Messaging and File (and Print) servers.
He.she may not be setting up Routers and switches all day but must understand the rudiments of switching, routing and firewalls in order to TRULY maintain VLANS and to connect to WANS.
Any IT Manager/CIO worth his salt would sleep batter at nights knowing that he has an "in-house" Systems (Network) Administrator all the time and when necessary, outsource for a DBA, than vice versa.
