What do you think is a good one? Dev Ops? Software Engineer? Maybe Data
Science if it's not a fad?

Oracle 18c is a long time away. It will be at least 3-4 years until you
see the first ones in production. DBA job is dead now, not because of the
smart databases, but because of DBaaS stuff and cloud in general. Cloud
makes it easy to just add more memory and CPU and not bother with trifle
things like optimizing your SQL for performance. With RDS, you don't even
need to do backup. However, job of a SME is not dead, it only requires a
different set of skills. The IT technology is still not at the level that
would eliminate need for professionals. However, the DBA job itself is
dead, just like the job of a saddle maker. If you want to make a career
decision, being an Oracle DBA is not a good one.

anyone else considering starting to invest in other data-related areas?"
