You need to be sure that you would like being a DBA and that you would be good at it,(or even competent). It requires a certain type of personality, as well as technical competence. Check out this page on my Database Answers Web Site to get some insights :- http://www.databaseanswers.com/what_is_a_dba.htm For training, I would recommend Learning Tree who offer a "Training Passport" where you pay for 4 or 10 courses at a rate which is expensive but a lot cheaper than paying for individual courses.

Good luck
