Administration

Fsck your ``satori" bullshit. I don't care how young you were when you coded that ANSI C compiler in C. I just want to be a Database Administrator and make a living, being smart without requiring genius-level mental capabilities, and trying to have the least amount of stress as possible. Is that so wrong?

What is the best way a college freshman might go about accomplishing this? Should I even worry about anything dealing with job opportunities now, or should I just wait until I'm in my Junior year and have completed the core curriculum of calc, physics, C programming, and the like?

No, it's not just "it sucks when it happens", it means you need to have your shit together on a moment's notice when things do to account for it, and have your shit together in preventing it from happening.  When stuff like that goes down, there is no just shrugging it off and making it go away, it's a reflection on your usefulness to the company and whether or not you know what the hell you're doing.
