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.
GEEK!!!!!!!

I'm just curious to know what category you're in...

1. Software Engineer
2. Network Engineer
3. Systems Analyst
4. Systems Administrator
5. Computer Engineer (which is all of the above)
Computer Engineer. A little of all of the above for about 27 years. In my company I have the title IT Architect - kinda like "all of the above".

Cheers
