Another good starting point in Microsoft Virtual Academy (ITS FREE!)
http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/product-training/sql-server
You wont have enough information to pass the MCSA exams by just watching these, but its a great start to introduce you to different aspects of the DBA world and spark interest and independent study in the different areas.
If you are just starting out I would still recommend the MCSA as it exposes you to different parts of SQL that you may not use in your day to day job. However, I would agree that part of the exams are based on the Microsoft way and not necessarily the way it works in the real world.
Hope that helps!
