dba = data manager?

data managers earn less than developers?

atleast not less than senior scientists (what's that?)

Wow, I admire your courage.

Hmm... why is the sky too high and the donkey cannot fly?

When the database server stops responding or crashes, who do you call?
when n-million of rows gets "accidentally" deleted, who do you call?
when the application's performance slows down, who do you call?
when you can't determine why the data doesn't update, who do you call?
.
.
.
who is on call 24x7 and makes sure that db servers are available all the time?

not the ghostbusters, i hope
