Fresher Job As DBA - Tough To Get?

Hi sir,
I am a 2015 pass out B.Tech fresher looking for a job. but most of the small scale companies asked for certification and if i apply for any MNc then they dont response . And my deep interest is with Database and also in Testing. but some people say that it is quite tough for fresher to get a job as a DBA. In this situation i am very confused about which path i should choose???

    You are lucky to know about your interests. Your ideal job profile would be a database tester; which could be difficult to achieve for a fresh graduate. But as you'd guess - getting into ideal career is a long term game; which may demand about 3-4 years of passionate pursuit.

    I'd recommend that you should first try to get a job as a database administrator or software QA in any company that you can get into. If they demand certification; go for it. Spend a few months in that profile and see if you are really enjoying it. Just be aware that database administrator and a database tester are two different profiles altogether. So switching could be difficult.

    Fix a path - either DBA or QA. I personally would recommend QA, because that leaves some scope for you to get into database testing at a later point in your career (about 3-4 years after you gain expertise as a QA). Switching from DBA to QA would be more difficult as it requires a very different skills-set.
