I am currently trawling through the UK / International job market, hoping to find something in SQL Server.

I am finding that a LOT less than 1% of jobs advertised require MCP/MCSE and in three weeks have yet to see a requirement for an MCDBA.

It is all boiling down to experience and for all those DBA wannabee's out there, VB is generally an additional requirement. (A pure DBA role is a rare beast; development is strongly in demand.)
