Database Administration |
|
Some companies require a strong database to support their company’s information regarding their clients, employee information, and other aspects of the business. Database Administrators (DBAs) are crucial in order to meet the needs of many of these organizations. A Database Administrator maintains databases as well as creating them and testing them in order to make sure they are working properly in all aspects of their usage. DBAs also are vital when it comes to disaster recovery, the actual design of the database itself, as well as finding the most efficient way to keep it running smoothly. Many DBAs work with programmers and software engineers on database management systems like Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server. Companies may offer salaries ranging from $38,000 to $79,000 per year depending on skill level as well as degree level earned by the student. Many degree holders have at least an Associate’s degree, but most have Bachelor’s degrees in Information Technology (IT). For students looking to brush up on their IT skills, there are many certificate programs available that can help improve their foundation in Database Management.
