Re: Developer or DBA ?
This is probably the best advice I've seen - follow what you like most. If you like being a DBA, why change. If you don't like it, then certainly look at development, or even a career outside of IT if you'd find that more fulfilling. I'm looking at the same question - after 20 years as a developer, do I want to make a change? And how big a change? (In this group, I dare not say whether I might change platforms too.)

Don't be shy, try another DB and then you'll even enjoy Informix more when you come back... :-)... > -----Original Message----- > From: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list- > bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Kevin > Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 03:05 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: Re: Developer or DBA ? > > This is probably the best advice I've seen - follow what you like most. > If you like being a DBA, why change.
