This really depends on where you work. I've been in both job situations, but mostly my experience is that system administrators in both small and large organizations can have the ability to generate and manage both small and large scale projects. A bulk of my last job was about managing projects and producing technical results, and my current job is almost nothing but the combination of those two things. -- Jesse Trucks, GCUX jtru...@lopsa.org Director, LOPSA http://lopsa.org _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
