8/15 Been looking for a job on http://monster.com, http://dice.com, and link:acareer.com.
It seems that a majority of the high paid jobs are DBA, DB consulting,
DB app, Java+DB related. I don't understand. Database is boring. Why
the heck are they in such high demand?
\_ DB related is a specialist just like a Network Engineer,
Device Programmer or Graphics Programmer. If you're looking for
C/C++ jobs, they're not paid as well since there's a high supply
of those right out of college. Therefore those programmers are
easier to find (or replace).

\_ I once worked in a place where there was a DBA and a unix sysadmin.
Something went horribly wrong with the Oracle database and the DBA
didn't know jack shit so the sysadmin had to fix it himself. DBA
requires that you get some shit degree at some shit career college
like Devry or Heald College. Usually, DBAs are incompetent morons
\_ Uhh, because its boring, so not many people do it? Hence,
a high demand?
\_ no, hence a low supply.
\_ Because the work sucks but DB stuff is vital at many places thus
there aren't a lot of folks doing it b/c it isn't as interesting
as many other jobs but it must be done thus they pay the bigger
bucks for the fewer folks out there with those skills.
\_ DB requires more experience. Not many people can easily jump
into that market. It's in low supply not because it's not
interesting.
\_ Spoken like a DB professional.
\_ understated: if your company does ANYTHING relating to ANY
kind of data or eCommerce, you need a DB, and therefore a DBA.
And unlike your developers, you need them FOREVER.
\_ Every company needs a DB to keep track of financial data.
\_ What! DB professional higher paid!?! Looks like I am well under
paid by my company. - A Debacle DBA.
\_ It's boring trash work. An Oakland trashman gets paid $65K/year
without any education. A DB man gets paid high salary. Both are
trash work. DB related jobs are high-tech trash work. |
