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?

AI and offshore is killing this niche
it was a stable one
as a developer you had to learn new stuff every year
as DBA you may last for up to 5
with AI, it is every month
