Whichever one you are interested in. Seriously, you cannot expect people who know nothing about you to be able to advise you on a choice of career.

Use the best guess

None. Find out what you are able to do as a job, then go back to college/university and learn that.

DBAs tend to get paid more. DBAs are more likely to be on call all the time. DBAs tend to be very specialized and the skills that make them valuable don't translate well to other databases nor to other types of work. Smaller companies find it harder to justify paying a DBA and also find it harder to provide enough tasks for them to do.

Depending on what that means exactly you are probably unlikely to find a DBA job. At best only the largest companies would be willing to hire someone without experience to be a DBA.

DBAs are like magicians.

Database Admin and software developer both are good. But if you have a mind to start a business(IT) means choose software developer. And choosing correct and growth platform.

The first thing you need to learn is how to do your own research[^].
