you wont even get an interview as an Oracle developer. I hate to tell you this. There are tons of people who do what you do and virtually no entry level jobs if NO entry level jobs. you can spend months on all the job boards looking for entry level jobs and not see one in the whole US.

Not trying to be mean. Market is really bad. Especially at entry level. you really need a computer science degree to have any shot to get into anything related to programming. Its a good degree, however, part time it takes a long time. Received on Tue May 06 2003 - 17:22:17 CDT
