I knew someone would bring up that point sooner or later, and it's a legitimate remark. Hosting sites is system engineer work, and I'm MCSE . Scripts are programming work, and if you know a lot of professional IT people, you'll know that the twain rarely meet.

I'll agree with you that in the world of Microsoft servers, the admins need not be programmers.
However, in the world of Unix based servers sys admins are usually expected to be fluent in shell scripting and Perl at the minimum. Although SA's need not be true developers, basic scripting skills are necessary for survival. You cant clean up other people's messes without 'em!
Good luck!
