DBA
Database administrators or managers create and maintain databases compatible with their companies' needs. These information technology (IT) professionals oversee database updates, storage, security, and troubleshooting.
Database administrators maintain and protect sensitive information and provide access to important datasets for companies, institutions, and government bodies. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that database administration jobs will grow by 9% from 2018-2028. These professionals organize sensitive datasets such as financial records, purchase histories, and customer details, and they make materials available to other professionals while maintaining information security and privacy settings.
