what is the result of this thread? no body mention even for Solaris or Java! anyway thanks to all.

The result of this thread is that this is a pointless discussion. Where you go next depends on your environment and what you hope to accomplish.

Plumbing and house cleaning have good money in it...

Seriously, these are the areas I think are currently hot:

Java and Websphere

XML and ColdFusion

.net

If you area diehard oracle fan, switch to App DBA/11i development. They seem to have more potetial than database dba/developer..

I think I'm gonna become a Yoga teacher and specialise in advanced flexibility for models and film stars. I'm not sure if it will pay well but I'm sure I'll enjoy it more than reading through statspack reports... probably.

Cheers

PS. There are more development jobs than DBA jobs. May be worth making a move to Java or .NET. Back to the bottom of the pile again :)

This thread is beginning to get very strange, can somebody explain what being naked has to with which career path someone should choose. I can hosnestly say that in my 7 years of Oracle I've never once had to be naked to perform my tasks :D
