True, but it is also a good thing my girl is based squarely in reality.

But for jobs, I was referring to the adds that want an expert in systems 
integration, RHCE or equiv, +10 years experience, Enterprise level 
administration, knows Apache, tomcat, nginx, experienced PHP + 5years, 
python expert level, mysql or oracle DBA experience 5 years, HPC 
cluster, rotating on call, top tier support, and will support internal 
office staff.

No thanks, to many hats to do anything well. You will not have the time 
to dev, design the websites, admin, engineer, integrate, support, 
external support, and fix the DB.  Could be I set my expectations to low.

Now will follow all the responses of "sounds like my job!" :)
