At the risk of sounding flippant..... Q. What's the difference between Administrators and Developers? A. Around 2+ years of experience?
No - but seriously - a developer I think would get pretty bored of the general day-to-day administrative/administrator type tasks - and Recruiters who specify have a very good reason for specifying... staff retention.... That's my 0.02 (enter your currency here)....

I'm going to open up a HUGE can of worms today, just because I can. I keep seeing these hiring requests come in for Administrators OR Developers but not both, and every time I do, I think "What the Heck?" I've been doing software development and administration for better than a decade now, and devoted more than eight years of that time to Remedy, and I'm still not certain which skills fall into which bucket. So just for giggles, I'll start a list, and the rest of you add onto it.
