Too bad. Such and important topic and a bunch of children are the ones who squander the opportunity. Hope the excrement jokes are still funny when they come for you.
Hiya. I agree that reading a few books and starting out at the bottom (help desk) would be a great way to go. I started my road as a med admin that just happened to understand databases. read a few books, did a lot of research, and parlayed that into a dba/developer. learned sql/vb/and a few other things along the way and now am a database manager. my degree is in latin american history. i graduated at the age of 26 (military first) and am now 31. have faith and just go iut there and do it. the neg feedback is something i encountered as well. just a bunch of guys that don't want to share. god forbids someone talented come in and show these guys to be the slackers they really are. too bad they are more interested in guarding their jobs than helping those that ask.
good luck
