Does anyone have any links that show job descriptions? I want to know the difference between a Network Administrator and Network Engineer.

A network administrator is responsible for the entire network or networks within an organization. This includes all hardware such as servers, workstations, printers, faxes, and other equipment on the local area network. Network administrators are often responsible for vendor relations as well.

A network engineer is responsible for all aspects of local area network design, installation and configuration. Duties may include network architecture planning, network traffic analysis, and diagnostics. Additional duties typically include router installation and configuration for wide area networks.

Sometimes, one person is considered both, or there could a few of each, depending on the companys needs.
