I am thinking about becoming a DBA. (Hopefully in Oracle)

I was wondering what path(s) you have taken to become a DBA.

Should I pursue my masters in Database Analysis or should I take Oracles
DBA I and DBA II Classes?

IMHO, the Oracle classes backed up by some real-world Oracle experience will be off the most use. The biggest problem is breaking into the market with no actual Oracle experience, so maybe set your sights a little lower to begin with, maybe do a little Oracle-based programming first.
