Hey I have an 86 Yugo!!! j/k Black sports car with a lot of speed is my game, but your right. An admin who can hack a little is way better than the MSCE out of school. But it's hard to get those guys that have that ability and are trustworthy. On the same note I am "forced" to get 3rd party audits done periodically. There are reasons you want to do that but I feel confident (egotistic) that for the most part, they would never do the same job I do. Sure they might kick my ass in cisco knowlege but lack serious ability across the board. Good security people who know the fu and can keep their integrity and the corporate integrity intact are HARD to find.
I am decent at the tough (but fun) job I have for one reason (above ethics, experience etc...) I take that **** personal. If the net isn't up and people pecking away with efficiency, it's an attack on ME.
