Agreed.  Sysadmin only goes so high, in some companies.

Network admin might be thus, but I've heard folks use that term for managing a 
bunch of windows machines.  A network engineer tends to have a different skill 
set, and different knowledge, even from the SA's.  They'll be found on NANOG, 
and live in world of routers & BGP.   I know routing, but not at that level.  
Nor could I bring up multisite routing to various exchanges, with different 
QOS, working w/ multiple telco's, etc.  I'm pretty comfortable w/ that being a 
separate domain, personally.
