Books Recommended for DBA Wanna-Be....

[Jeremy116]

Hello. I am a 23 year old Freshman at the University of South Florida in Tampa, majoring in MIS. I havent started the classes in my major (I am taking the liberal arts requirements now). I want to be a DBA. I am looking for books and magazines that I can start reading now so I can get started....I am yearning for knowledge! Can anyone help? What should I read to get started. The books that I have found (barnes and noble, etc) are written towards people who already have a working knowledge of the topic. Please help!

Thanks!
