Database path for career?
|
|
|
| I asked similar questions at one time. Now having done DBA
stuff for a little while I would have to say, do what you
enjoy more. I spent some time learning to program. Once I
started to get OK at it, I realized that I hated it. I
wish I had spent more time in networking. I think the pay
would probably be better for a dba/ programmer than a dba/
networker. But I dont care anymore. I just cant hang not
talking to anyone and being stuck in a cubicle for the
rest of my life. At the places Ive worked the network guys
have much more interection with people and are doing
different stuff pretty regularly. Good luck.

| Chris,
thanks for your suggestion, I would like to ask you starting as a networking
work, how can I convert my job from networking to a DBA in later? Which
path/skills should I focus on? Thanks

| I took a project manager job from a networking position
and found I really liked inproving efficiency. I worked in
project management and had to write a lot of reports in
Crystal. From talking and working with business customers
I found I could automate things and increase efficiency by
writing SQL Code. I agree with Chris's suggestion in do
what you want to do. I would hate to be in the position of
hating my occupation but doing it for the money. Good luck
to you
