Here, here. I agree totally.


And keep in mind that the range will vary greatly depending on geography and
state of the economy.

And one other thing, before you start saying you can call yourself a
sysadmin, dba, etc., you should have a really good idea of what these people
do. Take a look at the job boards and see what kind of skills it takes to
land a 90k job as a sysadmin or dba.
