How to become a database administrator in 2024

How to become a database administrator is one of the most often asked questions here on my TH-cam channel. In today's video I provide you with information on how you can become a DBA.
I am a big fan of not reinventing the wheel when it comes to working in information technology. If you want to be a DBA, don't look for shortcuts or unproven paths to get there.

I use this information for this video to point you into the right direction to make the switch into a well-paying career in information technology.

But how many modules that encompasses Database Administration.

[@adalmar9889]

Is it better to focus on Oracle since it has the large market share of databases platform?

[@SatishShirke-hl8zm]

[@user-gf3hq1yx9w]

is it possible to get a dba job as a fresher ?

[@ZooGod-si4ho]

I landed my first job as a Software Support Specialist working with MySQL, MSSQL, and Oracle. My title isn't a "DBA" but its surely a stepping stone to that career path. So I would say yes its possible.
