Where to start? How about the documentation, which has already been suggested. Then I would seriously consider working as a developer for several years before attempting to become a DBA. You can't administer what you don't understand, and the surest route to understanding is developing applications and programs against an Oracle database.

Start there, then come back after about 8 years of development experience and ask again.
