• I think DBA boot camp would be beneficial, but who has 6 to 8 weeks. Only really large companies that already have a bunch of DBA's could afford this. I would say only a few mid-size companies and probably no small companies could live with an employee being gone for that long.

    So my suggestion, here is your money making idea, Why not an on-line program? Perhaps with pod casts, to help instruct through difficult subjects. Then the soon to be DBA would be able to take the course at their leisure. It would make sense to have some quizzes and tests to ensure the student was tracking.
