..........$50,000+ salary job sitting back and advising people on what to buy (and then having me build it and play with it)
Well I get to do that some of the time, but we aren't big enough to fill all my time doing that, so I'm also a network admin, DBA, everything else as it needs done - they call me a Technical Systems Analyst, but really I do support of the servers - never deal with clients so it's not that bad. The best part is every year when we get a new budget I get to spec all the new servers/upgrades, and then play with them for a week or two before I have to put them into production (building the SAN kicked ass). And, after working here for about 4.5 years now, as of the end of this month I'll be making the $50K a year - but it's $Canadian so thats really only about $50 a year US.
