I'm a laid off java programmer; I'm trying to increase my skills, so I will be taking an Oracle course. The problem is that I haven't decided whether to take the DBA or developer track. Which one is more in demand. Which will help me to find a better job faster. It's a tough decision to make since I don't want to waste my money. I'm taking out a loan for this.
Please help, what do you think ?

urya,
Oracle DBA certification has a reputation in the software market and its also challenging to complete OCP certification better go for DBA certification.

You will always do better in a job or a career if you do what you enjoy. Developers like to build, DBAs like to test and tweak and poke. Which one do you like better - thats the one you should pick.

I would Suggest Oracle DBA. Good Oracle DBAs finds job very easily in a very bad market also.
