there is no such thing as an entry level DBA. Being certified only helps if you have experience. Now I dont know how much certs help with OTHER skill sets. Ive been told they are more valuable with Microsoft networking. I dont know for certain.

DBAs start as developers or network engineers and more over. Chubb is stealing your money.

These computer schools are expensive and a complete waste of money. Kids with computer science degrees are FAR better trained than anyone coming out of these schools and they really arent getting jobs.

Get your money back. Chubb is a scam. Anyone that tells you they can train for you for 'entry level DBA' jobs is a liar. They call it 'junior level' right? Only people that consider someone with out experience junior level are the training companies. The only junior level DBA jobs require a top secret clearance or are senior level jobs that dont pay anything.

Dont waste your money. Received on Mon Oct 06 2003 - 11:47:44 CDT
