Again,
Some issues:
-Labor supplied from operations overseas
-Issues of security
-Issues of plain old communication and the role of a DBA requiring communication
-Cost of moving overseas - certainly can't be afforded by all companies
-"remote" administration - scary - I wouldn't advise having someone do a "remote" recovery too many factors
-Some demand will certainly be dampened by overseas operations but still I think an overall positive gain.

That is precisely why I don't smoke, don't drink, work out and watch what I
eat.
I want to be around when the demand goes up. In 2061, I'll be the 1st
century
old DBA in the good ol' US. Life is a bore, but it will be a long one.

The META Group has released a study that forecasts increased demand for DBAs
in the future. They quote the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics that forecasts a 66% increase in DBAs by 2010. The two factors
that META feels will increase demand are:
1. Increased use of DW
2. Aging workforce
They estimate that by 2010, a quarter of the IT workforce will be over 55
years old. The new features to make databases self-managing will only help
with lower value labor intensive tasks such as schema changes and
performance tuning, not with higher value skills such as design and
troubleshooting.
