for a career in DBA or SAP

[kishankakarla]

Iam thinking of starting my OPT from may. Iam basically from civil engineering but I wish to do my job in DBA applications or SAP.

Till now ,my knowledge in computer applications is limited to webdesign releated applications, and graphic design programs, as I worked as a graduate assistant in these areas. Programming languages lo aithe C and C++ lo just ok.

Seniors antha consultant daggara ki velthe he will train you in DBA applications ani antunnaru. But i want to utilise my free time till may to get a basic idea abt databases. Pls suggest me where I should start and how, to land up in a job in DBA applications and SAP.

Here is what I would do....

First learn j2ee or dot net with Oracle and SQL Server skills, get a job in that field since it will be very easy to find one in this Job market. While working learn uinx and Oracle DBA with SAP Admin training. with that you will get a job in SAP administration or you can look for Oracle DBA but remeber you should have very good knowledge in unix.

hope this helps....
