Frustrated,
I hope I can relieve you frustration and shed some light...
Put simply, a DBA administers Databases where as a programmer Programs Database applications.
They are two entirely different jobs. A programmer with 10 years experience is not a DBA, just as a DBA with 10 years experience is not a programmer. There are, of course, people with experience of both, but that's different.
You do not become a DBA through Programming experience, or vice-versa.
Just thought I'd let you know.
