Database administrators are responsible for organizing all kinds of information. If you've got sound logic and good communication skills, a database administrator career is a smart choice. Earn a BS in computer science or management of information systems, or an MBA with a concentration in information systems. If you're just starting out you can combine an associate's degree with an internship. Your employment outlook should be positive, since database administrators are expected to share in one of the fastest-growing occupations over the next seven years.
