While that is true - if presented with a choice of "admin NT, or find
another line of work" - I would find another line of work.  Seriously. 
I hate Windows that much - haveing done NT admin for a number of years.

I can make very good money being a personal trainer, and even more
building custom motorcycles - figure 17k to build, and they retail for
40k.   Two weeks build-time per bike, and you get a very handsome living
out of it - as long as the clients are there.  I'm actually considering
doing this on a part-time basis anyway because I love doing it.

If it was the difference between admining NT and earning $4.50 an hour,
the choice is obvious (admin NT).  However, the world is so much larger
than that - and there are so many other choices.  I've developed a very
entreprenurial spirit in the last few years, so starting my own business
doesn't scare me as much as it might scare other people.  I've already
got a couple side ventures, and a decent savings, so I could do it if I
needed to.
