[dba-Tech] statistics

Hi Susan:

I find it difficult to believe that there is only half a percent of remote
work available but certain types of jobs dictate on site work support as
much of my jobs are that.
 
You may have been looking at the wrong place for remote projects and jobs.
Check out http://www.guru.com. I have picked up a number of remote job
opportunities both direct and indirect through this online pimping
company... I am sure there is a lot more out there.

=========Not rapidly enough, as far as I'm concerned. Also, the larger 
companies are more apt to work with remote employees. Smaller companies are 
still stuck in the Dark Ages, and I can't say why, although, I can complain 
about it. :) A quick check on dice.com showed 1/2 a percent for a general 
search on "SQL Server developer" allowing telecommute. Potential clients 
still want me to sit in a cubicle under their thumb. I didn't do that 10 
years ago and I don't know why I would do it now -- but doesn't seem any 
better than 10 years ago.

==========Beam him up Scotty! ;)
