Systems Engineer is the Title, but my duties...

Trading Floor support
Exchange Server Admin
Backup/Restore Admin
PBX/IPC Telco Admin
2nd level Desktop Support
Secondary Account Admin (only get involved if going through the regular channels is too slow)
Secondary A/V Support

I get to do a little of everything and I love the experience I'm getting from it.

<< I am just curious as to how many of us here actually work with this stuff everyday. >>

So it in the end makes you more qualified when stating something in this forum...Well to make you happy, I don't work with computers as my work. I'm studying Math and Economics and will start on my major next summer. I have the computer as my greatest interest and have done that for app. 5 years.

AOD, that wasn't my intention at all, I was just curious as to who here works in the IT industry, nothing more than that. Don't jump defensive so quickly ;)

all around &quot;computer guy&quot; for a company that owns about 25 Arby's franchises, 4 Krispy Kreme franchises, plus the 20 some odd PC's in the office.

If it has a keyboard, and it's broke, I fix it :)

Sysop/Sysadmin (Security office in IBM terminology) for an AS/400 server farm at a fairly large oil and gas company, they are not specifically IT related (obviously they are oil&amp;gas), but they use a lot of IT people, all their exploration operations run on big unix machines, and my end all the day to day business users software base runs on IBM AS/400s. I have a user base of about 3500 users for the JD Edwards software that we run.

I also do some &quot;programming&quot;, usually in CL (command language, it's a scripting language integrated into the OS something like shell script in unix (not syntactically but the purpose it's servers). I do some in C as well, but less.

I feel your pain DaBoneHead, there is still some RPG and COBOL code running around the 400s that I have to deal with on occasion.
