Question career Advice

Hi all,

I need a career Advice.

About myself -- I have 2 years of work experience as a System Administrator (Linux and Solari. I am Sun Certified System Administrator on Solaris 10.0 currently working in a MNC.

As for career growth, I am doing 3 year MBA course from distance learning, currently in first year. Will get an MBA degree by 2010, will be having total 5 years of work exp then.

I have a pretty good hand on shell scripting and I am still working to get it better. I don't want to be limited to only system administration. I know its a vast field but still....

Now, so as to boost my career, I can think of two options - Oracle DBA on Solaris (as it requires Shell Scripting) and Veritas Volume Manager.

I want to know atleast basic knowledge of Oracle DBA and seek Oracle certification as I have seen many job openings for Unix+Oracle.

Can you guyz please help me out ? Am I thinking the right way ?

All suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks in Adv.

Vikas
