I can not answer your question but I must comment on taking on the role of Sys Admin.
I hope I am wrong and your company is different than mine.
In doing so you transitioned from contributing profit to being overhead. Sure your
colleagues love it on the surface, but when the bonuses go out, you will probably
be poorer for it. I know, it happened to me (in another profession).
If you are going for a real job, then go where you will learn the most. At this point in your career, money should be secondary. Dollars will only last a short time. Experience lasts forever. Get a job with the smartest people you can find.
On the other hand, there is no better time to have a fling at a life-long dream job that pays crap. You will give up less pay now than later. Some suggestions: anything with the circus, live on an island, or my dream - coach a Swedish female basketball team .
For a real
treat, check out the VOD course The Western Tradition. It is composed of 52 half-hour lessons
that cover the ancient world through the age of technology. Prof. Eugen Weber
is amazing!

Is this a press release from the same White House "science"advisors who are pushing "intelligent design" over Darwinism?
