I would like to add a bit more to my advice given previously: The
specialized schools are the place to go to get some generic Oracle
skills, and possibly get certified. But I don't think that in the
present job environment it is enough to find a job after graduation.
From what I observed recently, to find a job with Oracle, you have to
fall into one group among:
The specialized schools are not going to help you with any of the 4
possibilities. If you don't fall into one of these 4 categories, I
therefore don't think it's a good idea to go ahead and spend a
significant amount just to learn the Oracle basics, since it probably
won't land you a job anyway. Also, don't forget that there are
probably too many of these specialized schools now, and many of them
are desperate for students now. They are therefore willing to promise
anything to prospective students.
