Depends on the definition of "webmistress". My definition of webmistress would include someone who can setup/manage their own dedicated servers from scratch and do the install and full config of the operating system, apache, mySQL, etc.

basically a NOC monkey in the trade floor environment is the person who gets a pager strapped to them and phone calls at all and any hours of the day/night to come in for a large trade floor operation like eOffering, eTrade, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc. and make sure that the systems are up and running properly for each coming days' trade transactions. this was a very stressful job, but at the time also a very lucrative one. i grossed $90K that year and i didn't even have a college degree, and i barely had a high school one.

IT admin for LAM Research was similarly techy and geeky. i installed and monitored the company's apache web server and their FreeBSD servers. LAM Research etched wafers. i thought that i did a perfectly good job working behind a computer and not having to actually interact with anyone because this way i was in charge of my job, my fuck ups, and all of the aftermath - whether good or bad. there were no unknowns, but i became a total hermit. i am still something of a hermit today, i prefer beach walks at home to loud clubs at night.
