I am thinking about getting certified for Oracle DBA, switch gear and pursue a career related to database administration. I have good academic background in database design and have used DBASE4, FoxPro and PowerBuilder in several database classes I took while I was in school. Will I have problem to pass the certification test if I study on my own? If I pass the test, will it still be difficult to find a Oracle admin job since I don't have any working experience in that field? Thanks for advice. Feng
