Jeremiah,
You really had to "expose" your self to "get the shaft" as you so
stated. I just have to show up at work.
Congratulation on receiving the certification and being recognized for
the knowledge you so willingly share.
Is there really a live after being a DBA? I prefer creating furniture
for my kids and grand children from wood that is discarded by companies.
Exotic woods are free if you know where to look.

The OCM program was actually in its early testing phase at the time we got them. So in fact, the honorary OCMs are actually OCMBs: Oracle Certified Master Betas. :-) (Please don't kick me off the list!)
The best thing I did with my OCM was get a visa to work in the UK, as I posess no other official qualifications that come close to the requirements.
As for the bullfrog thing, my parents were made to believe that nobody would remember that song after 1973, and that I would not endure a life of people singing Joy to the World. Admittedly, this thread was the first time anyone has actually done it to me by email. Am I a bullfrog? Find me and see for yourself. Or you can hire me. I charge $15/hour for home repairs and construction, and $250/hour to open the database you trashed by accident. No free Oracle advice at the $15 rate.
After 6.5 years, I have parted ways with Amazon, and am now doing stuff like tiling and home repairs for the still-employed DBAs. Thinking about moving to Madison WI or Iowa City. Anyone here from either of those places? I want to start an organic farm. Anyway contact me off list or on the OT list if you can give input on either of those two cities.
