Hi,
This message has to do with the job responsibilities and challenges
faced by an Oracle DBA. I want to pursue for Oracle DBA certification.
I have a BS degree in Computer Science and a working knowledge of C
and C++ on Unix environment. I want to get certified and work as an
Oracle DBA. It may sound weird considering my background. But has
anyone done this? Is it worth going for certification? Are Oracle DBAs
busy with their jobs all the time? I hear that these guys are the
highest paid in the IT industry? Is it true? Can anyone highlight the
challenges a DBA faces? How about job security? Are DBAs in the age
group of 25-40? What after then? Will a Solaris certification benefit
along with it? Too many queries.
Bye
