I'm kind of in the same boat as Karen... except that I'm working as a
developer right now (not Oracle). My goal of becoming a DBA has taken a
year and a half to complete the certification track. I know the effort it
takes to get certified. Granted, there are a lot of things I leaned and knew
when I took the test(s) that I'll have to look up when I do get on the job
but I suspect that even the seasoned DBAs have to do that. Otherwise, why
would this site be so popular?? I've seen many questions here that I could
have answered, even though I haven't had hands on experience. Come guys, if
you've got a job that you know all the answers for, then I don't think you're
a DBA. One of the things that I like about technology is that there is
always so much to learn, challanges to overcome.
Hang in there, Karen. The hard work is going to pay off for you!
