I am new to IT , how can I become database admin ?

I am new to IT, and I think I can troubleshoot basic pc stuff, install widows, fix dns server etc....

I want to be database admin or go into security, which is demand and what will stay in demand ?

I am going to University of Phoenix for my BS IT and then plan on getting master of info system from arizona state W.P . Carry.

Should I take A+, Network+, MCSA certification to get my self in the door ? What do I do basically, whats certs ?

My experienc:

4- years of PC administrator, fixing pc problem in the offie
1- year of Web Admin Teir 1 Tech support

Any suggestion ?

what? O_O

Anyway, take your A+ first. Then go after network+ and MCSA. Are you mainly interested in windows server?

I doesn't look like you are "that" new to IT. You seem to have experience and are working towards your degree.

If you are looking at certifications, you coulld always do the A+, Network+, Security+ route. Or, you could throw in some Microsoft certs and work towards an MCSA or MCSE.

Good Luck.
