need advice on career track

waltdee

Hi guys,

I’m new to this forum, and im in need of some serious career tracking advice. I’ve been in the IT field for 2 years now, and so far all I’ve been is a HD support and also desk side. I feel that IT is just very broad and i decided or better say...started thinking about specializing myself in something like Database applications. I am conscious i don’t have many years of experience in the field, so that is why i need some help/advice. My main question is, what steps should i take to get started in a specific DBA field such as SQL? Hope someone can direct me to the right direction.

Have you decided which vendor you would like to work with? i.e. Oracle, MS, etc. That should probably be one of the first things you do because that will obviously affect the path you take a great deal. Also, just pick up an introductory-level SQL book and start learning the basics.
