	Description:		Not is the DBA joib dying, though we could argue about that as well. Instead, I'm asking if the title of Database Administrator is going away. Are there going to be people that really want to send out resumes and apply to be Database Administrators beyond the next few years? As I look at my resume, I wonder if that's a job or title I want to keep around. Think about that for a few minutes. We're in the age of complex systems with cloud platforms, automated backup software, PowerShell and other scripting, Chef, Puppet, containers, self-service clones, automatic indexing, query store plan fixing, and more monitoring options than you would want to spend time evaluating. We have plenty of tools to assist, or takeover, much of the daily administration of database platforms. Even security can be mostly outsourced to AD, AAD, other directory services. While there is some level of what we might consider administration, is that the core of many people's jobs? Will it still be in five years? Read the rest of Is the DBA Title Dying?
