newbie needs counseling

I have about a year and half left of schooling before I finish for my BS
degree, but in the meantime I wanted to study for the MSCE certificate. I
want to become a DBA one day (I might try to get the MSDBA certicate at a
later time), but I wanted to start my career doing programming and debugging
for business environments such as dealing with databases or financial apps.

Does anyone have any recommendations on the exams to take for the MSCE for
what I described?

So does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions on me trying for MSCE
first then moving onto DBA cert after I gain experience?

And how long is Server 2003 going to stick around? Like I said I'll probably
wait a year or so to actually go and take these exams. Anything I should be
aware of when projecting my exam times and such?

BIG TIA

If you like databases more than other IT crap (I mean support), then I would
go directly towards MCDBA. Server 2003 is going to be around a while. It
hasn't even started its prime yet. For each exam give yourself 2 months.
Study hard and practice.
