What You'll Do: The job entails: meeting with organization management to discuss company needs, developing databases based on the needs of the client, making sure that the databases function flawlessly without bugs or glitches by performing routine testing, doing troubleshooting to identify the sources of problems when they arise, modifying databases over time with the advancement of technology to streamline the system, combining databases to make things more efficient, saving databases on back-up storage in case of an emergency and more.

Database administrators are typically employed by businesses that have a large customer base such as a bank, department store, insurance company, or internet service provider, but you could also work for an IT company or software development firm. Full-time work in an office-type environment is most common for administrators, but a few companies will employ part-time workers. A typical work-week is typically 40 hours or longer.

Education and Training: Becoming a database administrator requires possessing a four-year degree in a computer-related field. The most common degrees include the bachelor's degree in management information systems, computer science, or computer engineering. Some employers will also require a master's degree in business administration if they have very large databases.

You should be familiar with several database languages and have expertise in at least one. Certification will make you a much more appealing candidate to most employers, but the majority of them will not make certification mandatory for hire. Individuals who are great with computers should feel much more at home on the job.

The Future: The database administration management profession is expected to grow at about 31% through 2020. 

The Pay: Annual salaries for Database Administrators in the U.S. range from $41,500 to $115,600, with the average median annual wage hitting $75,100 in 2011 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
