Fantastic. You guys /ladies are all inspiring. You're where I need to be. But I see that some have very high expectations which is not healthy. I personally think that Data Science means advanced Analytics (Not saying you're wrong) that includes Maths(stats)& Machine learning. Data science (I love to call it Advanced analytics) would be more profitable to those who also have subject matter expertise (Accountants, Engineers, Lawyers, Pharmacists, Doctors, Salespeople, etc) to match their technical chops. For those keen on a learning path, I have seen no better than: https://practicum.yandex.com/data-scientist/ If you have the money. It's like a compressed Masters Programme. For everything else just buy books on Packt publishing or Manning. For those in the management sciences get a good book on Business Statistics. Fundamentals are key. If not download the free textbook by Danielle Navarro - Learn Statistics with R. With this you achieve 2 goals, Learn Statistics & become proficient in R. Ken Black's Business Statistics is also Perfect. SQL - Check Packt publishing Python- Check Packt too. But remember that these are just tools. The aim (ultimately) is to help clients derive value from their data. Certifications are key nowadays since clients don't know any better. I'll keep reading too. Cheers. 8 Likes |

Hi Guys, It's been long I've been here, Life has really been happening. And it comes at you really fast. Since the goal is to motivate with this thread I figured I should do an update on how OP is doing. Long story short OP have JAPA! Asides from getting a high-end skill to earn more and have a chance to live the life of my dreams, I wanted a skill that would be valuable anywhere in the world for the time that I JAPA. I went on to do a Computer Science Masters degree in the UK and I'm in my second semester and would be rounding off very soon. I plan to start my career in Data Engineering or Artificial Intelligence Engineering depending on the one that will pay pass and the one that I find. if you're still dragging your feet about switching Imagine where I would be if I had not switched. Let's not even imagine it, I don't have the energy to think about it. All the best. Meanwhile I plan to check the thread often going forward. 2 Likes |
