Hello,
[Quoted] I am working as a software engineer, but I'd like to make a career change and go into the database field. Specifically, I'd like to eventually become an Oracle DBA.
Considering that I don't have any working experience in databases, I was told that it would be hard for me to be hired as a DBA.
I noticed many companies want to hire junior VB programmers. In your experience, do you think that a position as a Visual Basic (+ SQL Server or Access) programmer would help me get started, or do you think this would be a bad career choice/path to begin with?
Do you think that, let's say, 2 years down the road, a company would want to offer me an Oracle-related job even though I have experience in Access and SQL Server as supposed to in Oracle?
Also, what about Pro*C? Do you think it would be a good idea to get a job as a Pro*C programmer?
Thanks in advance for your help. Received on Tue Mar 27 2001 - 16:46:59 CEST
