What professional engineers you mentioned do can kill people. I have yet to hear of anyone dying from a sysadmin or netadmin screwing up.
Oh c'mon. Now you're being deliberately obtuse.
I work IT for a hospital. Everything I do has the potential to affect patient safety, and we do have documented cases of patients dying from IT mishaps.
Perhaps do your research before spouting off more of these unsubstantiated claims?
Like the famous case of the Therac-25 machine. Programmers, not sysadmins, but same idea.
