Oracle is being now a days common rdbms .... Its worldwide having higher no. of requirement but at same time having higher competition for getting job as training on oracle is easily available and the rdbms is moreover quite famous rather than Sybase, SQL and DB2... Even SQL is being famous nowadays...
I think for industries to get DB2 dba is like headache as very less resources are there... but at the same time to learn DB2 will also be on its own....

It all depends on where you are located. I am DB2/Sybase/Sql Server. The
Oracle guys make a heeluva a lot more money than I do. Where I am at
Oracle makes top dollar with more positions available. Sql Server has
more positions and but I believe the pay will only go lower. There are
hardly any Db2 jobs in this area but I see plenty elsewhere. So it all
depends on your locale. I would recommend looking through a job search
engine in your area and see what prevails.

Is this a biased view? How about the salary difference?

Subject: DBA Role
I am currently looking into exploring other career paths within the IT
industry, specifically the DBA role. I am hoping that someone will be
able to provide some insight into the DBA role, for example, which is
the best path to go...DB2, Oracle, SQL, etc.? Are there any books you
can recommend? What is life like in the day and life of a DBA? What are
the different avenues available to a DBA? What certifications do
employers look for in a DBA?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jessica
