Can I become a DBA/Systems Administrator as an Information Systems major?

Systems Administration as a specialty seems to be dying out.

At the company I work for, we have about 300 people who stare at computers all day, and only have one or two systems administrators on staff. Normally if the user needs to set up a computer, connect it to the network, or troubleshoot something, they do it themselves or get a more tech-savvy colleague to help them. That’s been fairly common at different companies I’ve worked for over the last 10 or 15 years.
