Is there anyone out there that is NOT having any trouble finding companies that outsource their data management. I'm thinking that doctors and lawyers are usually the one's that need help with this.
You can start smaller by just making a database for a hobby site. That's what I'd recommend.
There is a new book on MySQL called "Learning MySQL". I haven't had time to go through it but from skimming the book it looks like a good resource for beginners.
Also, remember that designing and implementing a database is half of the backend equation. The other half is the actual code that interfaces with the database and allows people to add/edit/delete entries and view data in the ways they want to. PHP is currently the most popular option for online database admin and web page display using dynamic database data.
Beware of all of the security issues, etc., that would be involved when doing database/backend code for doctors and lawyers. You probably want to get some experience under your belt before hitting up those markets, or avoid them all together and stick to web development. Plenty of databases and code to write for the web :)

I think your are right. I don't run my own server, so that could be a big legal problem. Thanks for the head's up.
