I hope you enjoy your life as a DBA. That's a path that was open to me which I considered then decided against. I decided against it for a number of reasons. One of them is that the easiest path that was open to me was Oracle-specific. And my sense is that while Oracle is going nowhere for a long time (database lock-in is real), it isn't going new places either. And I just didn't quite feel that being a DBA was a great fit for me. But I could change my mind on that. In my next job I'm likely to learn more about the internals of databases, and could still go further in that direction.
