Well, I'd probably want them to pay for the Miracle DBForum but then again, I'm strange like that. And they wouldn't go for it, it would mean paying for international travel etc. so..... given that, I'd like want a 10G new features course (if I had to take training from Oracle Corp) or to have had them pay for the Hotsos Symposium. If it matters, the conferences I go to (and pay for out of my own pocket and use vacation time for) are: RMOUG, Hotsos Symposium, Miracle DBForum, UKOUG At least that's the plan for this year --- "Freeman, Donald" <dofreeman@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I would expect only one or two percent of prospective employers to > know = > what OCM is and something approaching close to 0 would pay for it. > I = > would guess only 5% of employers, if that, require OCP although fifty > or = > 60% may be familiar with it and have a favorable attitude toward it. > = > Here is a question for the list: If your employer were willing to > pay = > for some good training gig this year, what would you ask for? =20 > > I'd want to attend one (or more) of the performance tuning classes = > referred to on this list, and since I wear more than one hat, a = > Feuerstein pl/sql class. > > > "Ryan" <ryan.gaffuri@xxxxxxx> wrote: > >=20 > > >has anyone found an employer that will sponsor the OCM?
