RE: Oracle DBA future

If you are a db in a small organization you absolutely have to have people 
skills!
  And I would argue you still would need some people skills in a large 
organization.
   
  You need to ask people like System Administrators for things.
  You will need to interact with HR for benefits
  Your boss - you need to have good skills there or your review, etc will 
suffer.
   
  You might technicall be able to do all the right stuff but one slip of the 
tougue could kill you!
   
  My 2 cents.

  People skills Vs DBA

I have heard this opinion voiced a lot of times in my career, that most DBAs 
are not inclined to dealing with people.  They'd rather spend their time 
tackling complicated TECHNICAL issues than deal with people.

Is that something that anybody else on this list has experienced?

Is it ok for a very talented DBA to be stunted in their people skills?  Why or 
why not ?
