WOW what a weird set of records...

Definitely a novice admin... most likely MCSE certified. ;)

Seriously, we see this and wonder why when the IT world underpays for real 
talent like it does?

The dichotomy is: "It's windows, it's so easy to use because it's graphical and 
your secretary likes it" while also saying you need an MCSE to really know how 
to use windows cause apparently it's that complex....

Well which is it Mr. Gates? Complex or easy? ;)

So what the employer doesn't understand is that the concepts are hard, no matter 
what OS you're running it on - thus, you can't scale pay like your secretary 
could run your network services.

I love metaphors:

It's like building an F16 by microsoft, putting a novice pilot in it and saying 
"it'll be ok - they'll do fine - there's only one big pretty red button in the 
cockpit labeled *kill bad guys*"
