Oracle DBA as a career

Why to choose Oracle DBA as a career?

There are a lot of answers to this question. But first of all ask yourself, is this really what you want to be?

A DBA might seem to have a bright career or future but it also requires a lot of hard work and efforts. And once you are in, there is no back down.

No doubt, an Oracle DBA is the most consistent and innovative field when it comes to choose a career path. Why Consistent? It is a well known fact that whether it is a Boom or a Recession time, DBA has no affect on this on his/her career. Let me sort this out...

DBA maintains a database. The database is a collection of information. This information can be differentiated into various categories depending on for what purpose the database is created. For example, everyone uses Internet. An Internet is a collection of websites. And these websites store data in the database. Now just think how big our internet is? And how important our databases are?

As long as there are databases, you will be rocking.

But again, choosing DBA as a career must be on the basis of interest. Because administrating a database is not a simple task. Your one small mistake can cost you your whole career. If you really love doing this stuff, this might be the best thing that has ever happened to you.
