What should i do to become a DBA ? 
I'm a college Student in my pre-final year - Engg in IT .  
My wish is : I want to become a DBA in future .  
I want you experienced guys to give me guidelines for it.  
I' preparing for OCA and going to write the exam in a few weeks [ ( 1Z0-007 ) an then planned for ( 1Z0-042 ) ]  
What else should i learn ? ( i'm pickin up python ) .Some say , it's good to have expertise in bash scripting .  
In campus recruitment , what job should i look out for ? . Are certifications useless ?  
I don't know what is happening out in real world.
