Having a degree in anything will get you in the door for an interview at
most places; I interviewed at oracle and passed the tech interview and
one management level, the next level rejected my anthropology degree, go
figure. Find your dream job first, then see what you need to get
there....can't believe you're not happy as a dba ;)

Subject: [OFF TOPIC] College Degree
Well, I've been doing a little soul searching, I've been studying
computer engineering for a few years now.
I don't like programming, I don't like project management... and that's
about all they teach over here in comp eng....
So... my question to you is, what is your degree (if any) and what is
your opinion on college degrees and real life work.
I've been working with Oracle for a few years (4 or 5) and I've come to
know it a little, I got a good job as a DBA, but I don't really like the
'regular' careers that are usually associated with Systems
Administrations... so... if I got, say, a degree in mathematics or
physics... how would it affect my work-life?
thanks for your input.
cheers.
Alan.-
