Bit defeatist and off-topic, I admit, but I'd like to hear what's the
opinion on future of our profession and which way to go.
Wish I had a future reading lens as well...
What I read in trade press is that DBA's and geeks in general can't be
just technical any more, we must get into business side.
That's been the case for a looong time, not just now.
What does list think ? If we all must be more business savvy,
what's the best way to get into it from where we are now ? Data modeling ?
Suggestions, ideas, thoughts please.
Get a permanent job instead of contract gigs
and first time one hits a work problem, try
to solve it instead of running away to another gig.
Might sound a bit crude, but long term jobs are
not inherited or due: they are made. And it's
whoever is in them that has to do the "made" bit.
Just like any other relationship, really.
Hey, it worked for me...
