Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: MBA for database people
I don't know about an MBA helping you advance within a company. If
you're a DBA, while it will definitely help you get a job and also help
you get a higher entry salary (in my experience and opinion), us
technical types are so type-cast into our role that we will never be
taken seriously for any other positions. Especially when you're
considered quite effective as a DBA, what would be the incentive of the
company to allow you to leave your position?
