Database crashes don't worry me too much. Just some extra work (or looking for
work if it was my fault.)

I was an aircraft mechanic for over 20 years. Nothing like hearing that an aircraft you recently worked on crashed killing all on board! Happened to me three times. Thankfully it wasn't my fault. Or having coworkers die on the job
from accidents. That happened twice.

I became a DBA in part because (1) it pays better, (2) much less stressful, and
(3) I don't have to change 250 lb wheel and tire assemblies in the snow on midnight shift!
