I teach introductory/intermediate SQL Server at a polytechnic institute, and often times I get students who were designated as "DBAs" or "SQL Experts" in their company because they happened to be there. I often tell my students they have to do what they love, not what they're forced to do, because it just won't work out. If they like (love!) databases, then becoming a DBA is their calling. I often redirect them to your two articles (Becoming a DBA, How to Hire a DBA). I also recognize that the more I learn, the more I realize the more I need to learn. It's kind of a vicious exciting cycle. The moment I see a new article or book or webcast, I'd be like a giddy kid getting an early present for Christmas :) I'm neither an expert nor an MVP, but if I can also contribute in any way I can, I would be more than happy to!
