Subject:        RE: RE: database administration questions

or as Marlene, Jim and I not so jokingly ask in DBA 101 (if you can answer yes to most of these, you have what it takes to become an Oracle DBA): Are you able to function at top efficiency with little or no sleep - possibly for days at a time?

Do you like getting phone calls in the middle of the night that aren't a wrong number?

Do you enjoy being the "invisible" person in your organization, that is, until something goes wrong?

Do you enjoy life under a microscope?

Do you enjoy long lines of people outside your door?

Do you enjoy spending time filling out electronic iTARs in the off chance that a human being will actually pick them up, read, and respond to them in a "timely manner?"

Do you love solving puzzles that make no sense?

Is your favorite weekend meal Twinkies and Coca-Cola, and do you view pizza as a seven-day-a-week healthy meal plan?

Do you love being on a perpetual steep learning curve?

Do you enjoy the challenge of moving between different computer platforms?

Do you believe that you'll have enough time to teach yourself <fill in the blank> (possible choices: XML, 9i, PL/SQL, Built-in Packages, Java, etc.)?
