What is needed to become a DBA?

I am considering investigating a career change to a Database Admin from a C# .NET developer with some SQL and database skills.

What are the biggest things a typical DBA is needed to do on a typical job?

Curious...

Thanks.

Perfect! Thanks.
You're welcome!
Just my opinion: Experienced developer knows more than average DBA.

Jim, are we expecting a comedy or an horror movie?
