Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:The future DBAs?
Personally, I like Data Architecture.
And data modeling. I never could get enough of that. The hard part is explaining to people that don't quite understand the concept.

Being the sole DBA for the company, I don't get nearly enough opportunities for this anymore, and don't have the time for much of it anyway.

Subject: Re:The future DBAs?
Well, I give MicroSlop pretty poor grades for predicting the future and
Monster.com is absolutely useless (naw make that less than) at job stuff
in
general. I will agree with the person who wrote the article on one point.
The
job of being a DBA is changing and we all need to remain flexible to
remain
useful in the marketplace. That in some cases means spreading our wings
from
the historical role of DBA. We may need to become part time (or full
time) data
architects, reporting tool experts, etc... But in the end, I don't see us
degrading to the level of an order entry clerk nor order entry clerks
upgrading
to DBA's. As usual the MicroSlop propaganda machine is at work again.

Fellow DBAs and other DBA wannabes,
Ever wondered the best path into a DBA career? Microsoft offers a
brilliant
way. MSN Careers at http://editorial.careers.msn.com/articles/nofuture/
suggests some jobs are effectively dead, like farmers and sewing machine
operators and how the experts in that field can progress to the next
logical
career move. Guess which profession's logical career move is database
administrator? See the excerpt from the webpage here in the attachment as
a
picture.
I just couldn't resist posting it here. May be they are referring to SQL Server DBAs?
