I can't resist that. I would have to loved to have been a race car driver!

I do this all the time and have been able to hang on;however, there ill only be so many slots for this type of work in the future regardless. Oracle 10g with its ASM and other goodies will continue to get better along with the cheaper foreign talent!

Its also wise to have another way to generate income. I enjoy Oracle but at the same time I don't live my life as if Oracle is the only thing going. Its not good to be uni-diminsional. My side business has nothing to do with computers. Received on Sat Oct 04 2003 - 18:30:19 CDT
