Agreed. Sysadmin only goes so high, in some companies. > Compare system administrator and network administrator.

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.
