Re: Case study for interviewing Oracle DBA

Thanks for every one who shared their thoughts and gave their inputs here. 
   
When I said "system", I was not talking about the IT or computer field
alone. The successes of Rachel and Bambi (Not sure if it is a female
name,  but I am assuming Bambi is a lady - sorry, been living here for
more than 7 years, but still some names confuse me. I have seen a male
and a female with names Renee) does not mean that things are fine for
ladies. We have to look at the whole industry (IT or otherwise). I
remember seeing in CNN just two years ago that women are getting paid
75% of what men make overall - That is the statistic. And I am of the
opinion things were definitely not this good for them 30 years ago.

My complaint still remains: It seems, from what I have seen atleast,
many of the time working around the system is not possible.


Basically, I am trying to tell these points the following people are making:
   
Rachel: "Good marks in school and on standardized tests don't
necessarily prove how smart you are or how well you can
problem-solve."
  
Ryan Gaffuri: I have worked with guys who could do the work, but they
can't get in because they do not have an undergraduate degree.
   
Thanks Joel: "And giving a bit of help to the idiot MBA's without
making them feel inadequate can go a long way towards job security."

and Thanks Dave W too, for the tip on how to say 'No' to managers. I
am learning a lot from here too.
  
Thanks all.
