CCNA > just do the course work, it's a good networking foundation. It's sql all the way down. The book database design for mear mortals remains the best foundational text on the topic that I know of. After that anything vendor specific is just that... your better off knowing the features of mysql/postrgres than oracle If you were graduating today, I would just tell you "do what ever job you have to to survive and keep working on what every you can on the side". IN a few years when you graduate the market will likely be different. It's going to take you YEARS to close the gap with Sr. engineers, just keep after it and keep growing. I find that people who have a passion for computing or see it as a place to "play" tend to fare the best over time. If you enjoy it, make sure you dont loose that ever. It shows.
