I mean what IT certificate is highest paid.
Developer? Administrator? DBA? Security Professional?
Any survey on the web?

I would Imagine for DBA one got to have MCDBA and OCP8i&9i DBA also the highest Oracle certification the Oracle Certified Master(OCM) and at least some years of experience in at least both SQL SERVER and Oracle 8i&9i.
For networking I think it requires MCSA,MCSE,CCNA,CCNP,CCDA,CCDP and CCIE
