Database administrators are the experts of the vast data networks that comprise a company's infrastructure. Businesses and government organizations appreciate database administration professionals for their ability to make smooth system upgrades, integrate new data and respond to user needs with technological fixes. A high level of technical knowledge is required, and a bachelor's degree is recommended for most database administrators positions. Some administrators in training choose to gain experience at smaller companies while they earn their degree. Database administrators saw mean annual wages of $70,260 in 2007, according to a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Database administrators who worked directly in computer systems design and related services earned slightly more, at $76,090.
