>They want to hire someone smart, but are irritated about having a
smartie around.
Some managers don't like Good DBAs. They don't like DBA's being
independant (since they have good
IQ and are able to solve the problems themselves , and , in the process
- they gain the respect of
others) - the Manager feels threatened / feels insecure. Add to this a
manager who is not self confident.
In the final analysis, the DBA needs to ask himself "Can i sell myself
in the market today?" and prepare
for that.

Reminds me of another reason managers despise DBAs. I would venture to
guess
that the better DBAs have a pretty good I.Q. score. Sometimes that
produces
a love-hate relationship. They want to hire someone smart, but are
irritated
about having a smartie around.

Or, as some of us in the Southern U.S. would say:
"A dog will whip a skunk every time. But sometimes, it's not worth the stink."
Gotta love OT Fridays. :)
