A quick check of dice.com shows 46 listings for senior Oracle DBAs (https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=title%3A%28sr+oracle+dba%29&l=) but only one for junior candidates (https://www.dice.com/jobs?q=title%3A%28jr+oracle+dba%29&l=). We complain about the lack of senior candidates but we won't give junior candidates a break. If we don't give them a break, the pool of candidates can only shrink.

Iggy, junior DBA grows into the senior DBA by virtue of the process called "aging" or, more appropriately, "maturing". If you let a junior DBA simmer and ferment long enough, he will become a marvelous senior DBA, like a mature old wine. Some more maturing and you get balsamic vinegar. That is the stage when the DBA is at his healthiest and mixes well with greens.
