Disc jockey has several common meanings and each meaning has its own type of education.
If you are interested in becoming a radio personality, then vocational training or a degree in broadcasting or a related field would be helpful, but experience is the most important factor. Look for internships at local radio stations and opportunities on a local college radio station to get experience.
If you are interested in playing music then your formal education should include the fundamentals of music programming and music composition. Disc jockey performance classes have begun to be offered at many colleges. Disc jockeying is largely a trade and you can also pursue internships with existing disc jockeys.
Lastly, if you intend to be a mobile disc jockey, then you'll need a working knowledge of audio equipment. This includes adjusting sound frequencies and gains on equipment for optimization of equipment to a given room. For this, there are educational opportunities dedicated to sound reinforcement and you may find an opportunity to practice as an audio technician for a local school theater.

What is the wage for a disc jockey?
Most disc jockeys make between $5,000 and $40,000. The exact amount depends on the type of disc jockey, the disc jockeys popularity, the location of the disc jockey, type of payment, and whether the disc jockey is a hobbyist. For instance, a mobile disc jockey may be paid $800 for one performance, but they may only perform twice a month. Meanwhile, a club disc jockey may be paid $10/hour but with a full time position, the club disc jockey would be making just as much as a mobile disc jockey without including tips. Also take into account that a mobile disc jockey has expenses that a club disc jockey doesn't and you'll see that the club disc jockey in my example actually make more that the mobile disc jockey.
