The top 2-3 descriptions on the SAGE site are exactly what I'm working with 
right now...I have a small amount of sysadmin experience, great interpersonal 
skills and communication (I AM, after all, a Corporate Communications major) 
and I know desktop/user type systems well.  What's lacking for me at the 
moment is experience and time working with large, enterprise server systems 
and the associated software. 

Plus, I'm extremely motivated to move ahead, so I'll learn stuff as fast as is 
humanly possible, work extra hours, etc.  :-)

Thanks Jerald, your response gave me a little hope that places do hire guys 
that aren't already *NIX gurus with ten years of AIX/VMS/Solaris experience. 
Whew!
