Im torn on deciding which course to do for a job in the computing industry...thing is I can already do the tasks that are in both courses but dont actually have the qual that says so.
Which one would you say would be more usefull in terms of employment

- Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE)

- Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA)

I'd say there was more money in an MCDBA, but more jobs going for MSCE's.

seconded, also (in my opinion) engineering is much more fun.
isn't databases the same thing every day?
