I did a Masters in Public Administration (MIS) and am working in state =
government as a DBA. I can say it helped me in the hiring process as a =
(+) factor and may in the future help me during promotion consideration =
to DBA Supervisor. I also was able to interview and qualify for a =
Director of Information Techology position. I'm on the list and receive =
open position listings however I have about run out of energy and =
ambition for that demanding of job and have not posted for any of them. =
I haven't had to wear a tie in the 18 months here and don't miss it. I =
am getting some satisfaction out of my DBA position although, frankly, = it is a bit too slow. I have taken Carey and Jeff's advice to heart... = If nobody is complaining don't mess with it. That's why I have plenty =of time to monitor this list. =20

Subject: MBA for database people
I'm finishing a Masters in Software Engineering in Spring 2005. Then I =
want to either do a masters in computer science or an MBA. I have met =
several technical people with MBAs. Do you find the information useful? =
Has it helped you move up through management?=20
I know some of you run your own companies, do any of you have MBAs? Does =
it help? With the technical profession in decline, I wanted to diversify =
my skillset instead of just being technical, which is what a computer =
science masters would do. I know with government contracting salaries =
are all about years of experience and degrees. Performance really isn't =
all that important.=20
Any opinions would be useful.=20
