More than fair - I would be tempted, but I am more willing to face 20 below zero, blizzards and snow blowers than a hurricane.

I have a great position in the low cost of living and really nice city of Tally Florida. I am looking for an experienced Oracle dba. Does anyone have any ideas on the best place to recruit - orasearch, monster.com, dice.com?? It is for a permanent contracted position (ie. All the benefits, time-off of state gov.) with good pay esp. for the area $75-85. I am thinking that is solid pay for a low-key government dba position. Am I not seeing the reality of the job market? If anyone has advice on this please let me know. Thanks, Paula -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
