No, the true sign is when you can explain it to your parents :)
I have given up on explaining what a Network Engineer does and just say, "
I'm the guy that lets all the offices talk to each other"
It hardly does the job justice, but trying to explain routers just isn't
possible. I love my parents, but my dad doesn't even know how
To turn on his computer, much less use it. Mom, well, she can do
e-mail....oh boy can she do e-mail....

Good idea. But you don't TRULY understand something until you can explain
it to a lay person. Or a novice network engineer. If you can do that,
*then* you really know your stuff.
