Unemployed DBAs:What is the way forward??? by Nobody: 1:14pm On Apr 17, 2009 |
It is a harsh reality that there are few job opportunities for Oracle DBAs. However, I believe that there lies a solution to this ugly situation somewhere for Nigerians. Please if u have any idea of how we can make our DBAs to be more gainfully employed, air them here. thanks |

Learn Microsoft SQL Server. Learn MySQL. Learn PostgreSQL. Learn some programming (Python!) |

Is this really a valid solution? Fighting fire with fire? Learning more IT stuff when you havent found use for the previous? Where's the motivation gonna come from? What happens when you have 3 diff certifications and still no job? I believe the solution lies in self reliance. What can a DBA do to make ends meet, or sell him/herself to a prospective firm. Lets think in that direction! |

@Poster Lets ask ourselves a frank question ? 1. What makes you a DBA ? 2. Is the skill really there or just the passing of Exams using dumps ? That question answered, Please the best solutions is to keep developing yourself. Being a DBA might not be enough in Nigeria without any programming skills. The reason is that specialization is not really encouraged. Like me as a developer, will rather spend the time i will use to communicate to a DBA to design my database my self. And as for anything a DBA can do that i cant do, Google will solve the problem. So please follow @seun's advice. Learn more skill especially programming, it is very important. As a programmer, u can build solutions and hope that one day somebody will need it but as a DBA, i doubt if u can design a database and hope to sell it one day in this present day nigeria. - My Opinion |

MySql is actually not bad to learn and i am trying my hands on that at the moment.There are jobs for DBA's it just depends on how good you are there are limited spaces yeah but there are definitely jobs in banks,oil firms,state governments e.t.c although it would help if you had some programming skills too.No doubt networking is kinda what's hot in Nigeria |
