• Glad you enjoyed it, GSquared.

    I won't say that certs are the only way to get a DBA job, but they definitely help those who come from different industries and have never been near a SQL Server in a RL job. However, as others have pointed out, sometimes its who you know and how you present yourself that gets you the job.

    Whichever the case is, "Try, try again" is a good motto to keep in mind.
