Best education/career path for Oracle DBA
Hello. I am new to these forums. I am seriously considering Database Administrator as a career. Was wondering what the best education would be for a "to-be" DBA. Is it ok to go for an Associates degree, bachelors in Computer Science, Information Systems, or MIS, or would certifications be ok starting out.

Also, what would be the most ideal career path for an Oracle DBA. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

The physical order of data in a database has no meaning.
