I suppose your chances are similar to those of most people leaving
School.
One thing for sure is that there is no job Santa .
Depending on what other skills you have which could be related even in
a remote way to what you need to do.If you prove that you have the
well sought for skills people skills in addition to what ever
Oracle/OS,s Programs you know and maybe some weird skills like
skateboarding,scuba diving,tv watching,speed car racing, and above
all persistence at going at what you want you will make it
Have a great day and
