I am considering taking some Oracle classes, and want to know if they will enable me to get my foot in the door somewhere.

The classes I am considering are:

    Intro to Oracle, SQL, and PL/SQL
    Oracle DBA
    Oracle Performance Tuning
    Oracle Backup and Recovery

I ask this because about a year ago, I tried to make a career change. I took some classes and got my MCSE, thinking I'd find a job easily. I have run into a brick wall ever since. Everyone wants 1-2 years of experience, yet nobody wants to give you any.

Will I encounter the same situation after I finish these classes, or are Oracle skills in such demand that I will be able to find that elusive "first job" that will allow me to build on what I've learned and get me started?

Please send me your professional opinions. Email: jnd ( a t ) unforgettable ( d o t ) com
