Hi,

have you tried to verify that it's dead end. Oracle and SQL Server databases are pretty interesting technologies ... unfortunately, it all comes down to how these products are used. There are companies that use advanced features of these products and your input there might be invaluable, exploring and etc. might be challenging and fulfilliong work, helping others with database-related problems ... And there are other companies where the databases are just stopped/patched/started and nothing else. A DBA there could commit suicide out of nowhere :) I bet you know what I mean.

I'm just trying to say that being a DBA in another company could be a completely different story from being a DBA at the company you're currently in.

Wish you all the best and being happy with the changes you're going to make in the near future.
