Former embedded developer, former systems developer, former language developer, former application developer, former senior systems administrator and now DBA. (30 years) Simply put, the problem IS TITLES. They cause the "not my job" problem. If you've been called, help fix the problem. If you don't understand the problem, stay with it, maybe you'll learn something. Just because your a "title" doesn't mean your s--t don't stink. Unless your are designing your CPUs, writing the languages that your write your OS and the applications that run your hardware, you are riding on the back of someone else. Do what's ask of you and ask how you can make everyone's job better. Then you'll be employed and paid well for a long time.
