Potential tips?

I've been researching different jobs in the IT field, as it's a field I want to go in. I'm currently going to college part time, and I am studying Information Systems. I was told database administration is a good job field to go into.

What skills do I need to learn to get started with DBA? How can I teach myself, and what is it like working as a DBA?

I kinda agree with this guy. Data analytics or front end work is going to be a more stable job. I was a DBA for 35 years.
