which part is qualified as an accountant?
you volunteer to be the sacrificial lamb? Hm, masochist?
Before Jared tries to send everyone over to my list on this topic, I'll
try to bring it at least slightly back on topic. I really don't care

Hey I have an *economics* degree, *and* am a part-qualified accountant. I
claim that sacrificial lamb position as my own.
I know it makes no sense... but it has something to do with a (very)
antiquated "class" system and the difference between white-collar
workers and blue-collar workers and salary vs hourly wages
for the non-US, the term "white collar worker" refers to office staff,
who would wear a white shirt and
what you lose in worth you gain in self-worth.

Rachel,
A few years ago I was offered a job by a defense contractor in the area who
was looking for a DBA, but more importantly a DBA with a still active clearance. Well
all was well in 90% of that company, except HR. Simple answer, no degree no job. I
don't have the degree so they a

Now I understand their use, I shall immediately go out and hire an art
history major as the deparmental sacrifical lamb (and dartboard while
we are at it)
I'm still a hands-on DBA, although I have some paperwork
responsibilities as well. Not management, other than my own work :)

yup, but most places don't have a Goddess on staff.;-) and i'm seeing the
requirement for OCP being listed in consulting postings
I do understand, and that's why I said that I tried to bring people in
first, before HR (as you know)

Believe i
degrees and ocps often do alot more than get you past the HR department.
most jobs these days are short term temp jobs. temp companies offer you
salary based mainly on your resume.
most technical interviews are a joke. I can make more money if I double my
experience level and have a computer scien

Michael Abbey once said (I'm paraphrasing here) "the resume and OCP get
you in the door. It's your experience that gets you the job and keeps
you there"
We've had numerous discussions on this list about interview questions.
I've been on interviews where I spent an entire day (9-4) and talked to

A small but growing number of employers want certification. Considering the
job market, I recommend anyone who is not at Rachel's, etc.. level to get
certified as both a developer and a DBA. I'm doing Java also, just to have
it. The java test is a total joke. You only need to get 52% right and its
I didn't mean to scold... you post way more information than I usually

And I answer whilst eating breakfast at times too :)
Richard *is* right, the problem is, the sql statement is misformed but
the answer key says it will work. Which is yet another reason I dislike
the OCP exams.
