Sadly, although I believe Teradata is better than Oracle 11g, you need to look at market share. Market wise there are a whole lot more Oracle installiations than Teradata which means there are more job opportunities on the Oracle side and that's probably likely to continue. As for Developer vs. DBA, good DBAs command more money than developers but developer jobs are more abundant. As for Informatica, it's growing in market share, with Oracles product Oracle Data Integrator coming up right behind them.
Another option Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and thier SSIS (Sql Server Intergration Services), SQL Server is starting to become competitive with the other big players Teradata, Oracle. I think the demand for qualified people in this area is going to grow. Microsoft has a strong marketing ability, once their product is on the same level as Oracle and Teradata they will be a strong presence, espicially since their products are cheaper than Oracle and Teradata
