I've got 25 years in the industry and have to say nearly all the above. 1 year in computer operations, about 15 years in mainframe system admin including software engineering and as a DBA (although all with a title of systems engineer), about 5 years in UNIX system admin, 1+ in SAN admin, and the last 3 years as a SAN/UNIX architect, ie design or planning.
