Training Questions:
1. Is commercial certificate training a viable way to get into an
entry-level
Oracle DBA position? (Yup, I know the IT market is down, but likely
back up by the time I'm ready.)
2. Are there cheaper, but still practical alternatives? - I recognize that
this
isn't a "sit down with a book and a PC" committment. 3. I would appreciate any feedback on the Oracle program at Skidmore
College. Anyone who went through this program or has interviewed folks who came out of Skidmore.
Career Questions:
There seems to be a bunch of different positions available related to
Oracle.
If I were more interested in Oracle-related development, database design,
etc.
is it usual to first go through the DBA job track or is there a pathway to
these
other positions?
If it makes any difference, my experience is 20 years as a credit
analyst/loan
officer, but I've done some decent Access database development. Figure if
I am going to change careers at this point, I might as well go directly to
the best.
Thanks very much for any input!
