I know it has been covered, but I want to reinforce some of what has been said.
Invest in yourself. For Microsoft SQL Server, purchase the Developers Edition, it is one of the best investments you can make. Use it at home to learn and practice. Read the forums, particularly those here on SSC. Look at the problems presented, try to solve them, and compare your solution to those presented by others. Test and refine them, some times you can, some times you can't.
Buy books when you can, read and test what you learn from the books. Try to improve what they present. You may find that what they teach you is good enough, but there may be better ways (more scalable, better performance, etc)
As you can experience, actually start helping people on the forums. Pay attention to any critisms of your solutions, most of us will do so with the idea of helping you to improve.

hey Hey HEY! I didn't suggest to go unprepared 😀
Most certainly agree and I didn't interpret it that way. I have learned a bit from interviews. Most has been which companies I want no part of.
