I always have the same issue when I try to find my job (systems
administrator) in this 'report' every year. (It's my own annual
version of what I used to do years ago, fine my name in each year's new
phone book)....
"Web administrator" and "Systems security administrator" both supposedly
score a much greater salary range than "systems administrator" -- when
the reality is (for me, and I am assuming many of you)- is that the
"system administrator" role I am doing is ALL OF THE ABOVE. I'm the
systems admin (my formal job description), but I'm also solely
responsible for all security and intrusion detection and audits and..
as well as managing all of the web sites, and so on.
In my book, "Systems Administrator" > Systems Security Administrator
and/or Web Administrator
The bottom line is, I get paid for what I do, and am relatively
satisfied with my compensation. That's all that really matters. I also
find that tech jobs rarely, if ever, follow the typical boundaries set
by RH's descriptions......

* Web Administrators earn more than Systems Administrators, despite
being a bit more of a narrow field. At the best I've tended to
consider these two to be fairly synonymous roles I must admit, but
then most of my sysadmin background has been in web-facing companies.
