[faraz]

Go for oracle DBA

[mymailbox.21]

hi it purely depends on you.if u r interested in programming, then you can go for java. but before taking up oracle DBA think about it. n always remember DBA is NO SORRY JOB

[faraz]

In DBA opportunities are less, as there are more programmers while few DBA's in a company, but still DBA has huge demand if you are very strong in it,.

[egret]

i wonder if u guys could help me,make a viable decision.which would be better for me to do,ccna/ccnp,dba or mcse?i really don't have any background training in any major computing field,apart from high school basic programming,and autocadd drawings.
and please what are the basics i'll require for starters,and recent upgrades i'ld require to be very good in these fields?i'm currently rounding up a degree in mech. eng'g at an african university.(it's more paper work than practical eng'g).i'ld really appreciate any useful tip.thanks

[faraz]

oracle basics are pl/sql ,after that you can opt for what you feel is best, but whatever u choose u have to be expert in that.dont be bogged down by pressure ,o r anythinng, go and find out in institutes,ask students or professionals who have done the course as freshers or late starters. and jump to the course of your liking!!
