   To me, being a DBA is more an attitude than an HR position. Study what DBAs do and that will carry you forward.

   I don't see what having a BSCS has to do with it. And I speak as someone who has done a lot of computer science at the graduate level.

   During the dark days, prepare, so when the industry picks up again, you are in a position to ride the surging wave.

I work with Oracle and PostGreSQL, but not as a DBA. I'm a "wannabe" DBA but will most probably never be a real DBA since:

1. I do not have B.Sc. in Comp. Sci.
2. I got into Hi-Tech right after the bubble burst.

But I do admin(solely me and me alone) exactly one PostGreSQL development soon to be a production database so does that make me a DBA?

More like people are developing software on a database running on development machines.
