I don't think that you need to spend that kind of money to learn
Oracle. Personally, I took some community college courses (very cheap)
here in Toronto, and studied on my own and it was enough. You can get
the study material (on tahiti.oracle.com) and a database (on
otn.oracle.com) for free. Plus, I have some friend who took an Oracle
course at a "specialized" school, and is still looking for a job, 6
months later. There is presently an oversupply of experienced Oracle
DBAs, and therefore I don't think you could get easily a job in the
field after graduation, even as a junior. My recommendation would be
to learn well Oracle on your own, but also become good with either
programming (C or Java) or UNIX.
Just my 2 cents
