Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> newbie seeks career direction: become a DBA or DEVELOPER?
Hi gurus,
I have taken a few Oracle DBA courses at UCLA Extension, passed my first DBA
certification exam, but have not been able to find an entry level position
in this area. (My background is in printing and marketing... big career
move... I've been told my "timing is bad" cause the job market is bad
here).
It was suggested to me, by someone at the LA Oracle User Group meeting, that
I become an Oracle Developer first. Is this the path you recommend?
Although I liked the UCLA classes, I was dissappointed that the Career
Center was off limits to the Extension students. Can you suggest any
better/cheaper classes in Southern California? Any with career placement?
I have acquired many of the books that have been suggested in these postings
and have learned much by being a subscriber to this mailing list.
Thanks in advance!
SL
