Or come to Nova Scotia - DBA w/ ~5 years experience can expect around 65K. Supposedly due to lower cost of living, however, I believe it simply has more to do with less demand (there are few employers here large enough to warrant a full-time experienced dba - most shops are small development shops that have one disk to hold Oracle and it's usually running NT). Oh well, got saltwater in my veins, so I'll stick around here for a while :)

Cheers,
