Nowhere has anyone said that administering your own system makes you a professional system administrator. But whether you like it or not, if you own a linux system then you have to take up system administrator duties, IOW you are *the* system administrator. > Take the label you want.

WTF! What is this "label" business? Do qualifications exist in your country? When someone applies for a job, whatever "label" they give themselves doesn't matter a hoot, if they don't have the necessary experience/qualifications then they won't get the job. Is the level of corruption in your country an issue in this regard? > It is the same with sysadmin.

Don't confuse "role" and "profession/career". A person can be a weekend mechanic (role) but not be a mechanic (profession/career). > The truth here is simple: you are not what you want, only other > people can define who you really are.
