yeah that ' ll work bud <| sep |> Gosh that smooth 60 FPS is really making me envious . In any case I ' m so ready for the Pachyrhinosaurus 3 <| sep |> I understand that godreligion is a disease of the mind that sick fuckers intentionally infect the next generation with . <| sep |> After 24 dec you can start . <| sep |> Words and more words ! <| sep |> For projectsexperience , etc , what are you doing in your spare time to make up for the lack of that fact ? Homelab experience is better than no experience at all . At the very least it shows you ' re learning and trying to better yourself . Plus , you will actually learn stuff . From your coursework , I ' d hazard to guess you don ' t have much IT as in , infrastructure knowledge . I . e . Windows AD , SCCM , deployments , group policies , Exchange , Linux LDAP , web servers , LAMP stacks , Java apps , networking Cisco management , routing , subnetting , VLANs . Therefore , you probably don ' t look too attractive to employers . Even if you learned something at home , you can always put it on your resume as skills . Just answer honestly if they ask you in an interview . You ' re not going to get a job that deals with databases much unless you get lucky and grab a job as a data analyst , but this typically involves generating reports more than anything else . Simply put , databases are the most critical part of any company ' s IT infrastructure . If a network is down , it ' s lost profit until it gets fixed , but not the end all . If a majority of , for example , customer data such as invoices and purchasing orders gets lost ? It ' s possible for the company to go out of business entirely . Therefore , DBAs are typically fairly senior roles requiring some previous experience , usually on the sysadmin side DBAs are expected to manage base OS layer for DBs , clustering , replication , backups , etc .
