I have to disagree with you. My company will not hire someone without experience or who has OCP and no experience. We look for a minimum of 2 years experience. The only way we take someone with out experience is if they are already working for the company. That is how I became a DBA. I started as a programmer and was crossed-trained as a UNIX SA and Oracle DBA to support the system I worked on. When the DBA left, I moved into the position.
