Help Me :-) I want to be a MS SQL DBA

I am currently attending University doing a degree in Information Technology, and in the process of completing my MCSE. However, now i want to become a DBA and am looking for some guidance.
Questions that I have:
1) Do you need to learn any programming languages, if so what languages do you most commonly use? Currently i know C# and asp.net
2) Is MS SQL good to specialize in? Or should i look into Oracle or DB2? My main priority right now is how easily can one get an entry position job, so that i can build up my exp.
3) For those who are DBA’s, how did you gain experience? How is you day like? What certs or paths do you recommend a newbie to get?
Thanks
