Opinions wanted

Hello,
I have a quick question.
I am considering training for SQL200. Possibly as a career change. But, before I take that step, I wanted to ask all you guru's what I might expect from the job market?
Or instead of SQL2000 should I consider a different database (Oracle, etc)?
I currently program C++.

I know I should probably have posted this in a different section, but I felt that this will get more of the traffic I am after.

Thanks for any input. Also, feel free to email me if that is a better option.

Thanks,
David
dbarnes5@.kscable.comis money your priority? what exactly are you looking for?

I worked with sql as a developer and loved it so much i starting doing database administration, but money was not the motive. it was the enjoyment.

if money is your motive :( but oracle makes more. if enjoyment is your motive, you'll have to decide between the two.

the job market is "decent" for ppl who have 3 years experience and pretty darn good for 6 years+

If you have 0 years experience adminstration but more years of SQL Development, youmight have better luck becoming a SQL Developer first then a DBA.
