What we need is a DBA = simulator...a virtual reality cubicle where you are constantly berated and harassed by AI = managers and developers while you are trying to fix their problems via your = virtual workstation.  To add realism, we could make it a 3-5 day simulation = where it has one of the virtual
 managers call you at 3 in the morning = jumping up and down screaming, "The database is broke!  The database = is broke!"  Of course, the  programmer, system and network AIs will randomly = spread the blame between the database and the others...and after = determining that it isn't a database problem, they'll insist that you stay up and = "watch the database and give them a full report"--just to be sure.  = It could have the dual purpose of better testing the extent of someone's capabilities = and scaring away the meek all in one fell swoop.  :)
