I'm 23, been doing admin stuff and tech support since I was 17. Sure, i've got 6 years experience, but these elder fellows are right. We haven't been around nearly as much as they have. There's a -wide- variety of places that most of these current net admins have been before there was even such a thing as net admins. They have a lot of experience behind them that we'll never have. I don't expect to be in any type of serious admin position until i'm 27-28.. You really need to hop around different companies and soak in different places and software before you can be a good netadmin, these days.
