RE: SALARY OF AN ORACLE DBA IN THE US

I wish there were a firm ratio between salaries and the cost of living. The median price for a single family residence in Santa Clara County is now $526,000. I'm in a $450,000 30 yr old 1500 sq ft semi-fixer-upper so I guess I'm aspiring to the middle class. As my three kids get bigger and bigger my house just gets smaller and smaller and my "inflated salary" evaporates into thin air. But I'm not complaining. :-)

To put those salaries in perspective. How much does a 2000sqft home cost in Mass? In Oklahoma City they are about $100-130K. DBA salaries are anywhere from $45k-$80k.

I agree, up here in Massachusetts things are quite a bit different:

A friend of mine with just over 2 years of DBA under his belt, but 10 years of IT experience is making around 130K. Another buddy of mine is consulting and getting 110/hr, he's billed out at between 150-175. He's got 3 yrs of DBA.

In a nutshell, in the MA market, DBA's are getting 75 - 125K depending on experience. Hell, even programmers with a couple of years of Forms experience are getting 60 - 70K.
