IT Employment

I've felt like you in that I'd been exposed to many technologies, but spent little time on each. I knew enough to tackle any project, but always took a while since i was learning. What I found out is that I liked it. If you want to settle into one role, like databases, you need to get specific training on one, (Oracle comes to mind) and pursue that. The other thing you could try is getting any IT job in a big organization with an eye on moving to their DBMS group.
Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, if you don't specialize you'll stay on helpdesk type tasks which is a level of broad based but not too deep specialty. Choose either the applications development or administration path and then go from there.

What I really meant when I was talking databases is how data should be treated in an organisation, what should be measured, how can it be mined, how can user be trained in better usage of data and basically how organisations can be reengineered. This might be a lofty goal that may take years to accomplish but how do I get there?

of all the job sites that i have looked at usajobs.com is the best read the position descrption and taylor your resume to fit. All of these jobs are with the Gov and pay a little less then the private they will look at you. You can the start to narrow the focus of your work gaining the expierence needed to become a true expert.
