I would like to ask, if I try to follow SQL Server DBA path, getting MCSA SQL Sever 2012 certification in a year from now:
MCSA? It's a paper tiger. It's just a foot in the door sometimes to show you're serious about switching your careers. Doesn't mean much else, really, other than you're a competent intern who can cram for a test.
And, from the exam description page:
Who should take this exam?
This exam is intended for SQL Server database administrators, system engineers, and developers with two or more years of experience, who are seeking to validate their skills and knowledge in writing queries.
