Again, most people are suggesting online learning because it cheaper, affordable and it has a wide range of information but my problem is i love blended learning where there is a classroom and also acquire knowledge online. Please sir can you recommend a good IT school

I am not so vast in Business Analysis, but acquiring it will give you an edge as Data Analyst.

Four years is more than enough time to acquire both Business Analysis and Data Analysis Certifications.

Coursera offers courses in Business Analysis, check or the one that you want to enroll in.

Facebook is offering a Marketing Analytical course on Coursera, you can begin with, which is very close in some way to Business Analysis
NOTE: you will need to also learn some basic Python programming.

Following up on my previous post, About getting a job, you can get a job in any field so far you start up on Fiverr dot com. Just follow the field that’s less saturated

I’ve used Fiverr before and earned over $150 in my first month. Fiverr can make u rich instantly if you’re dedicated with the website

Are there real data science jobs in Nigeria? Plus how much do they pay and do you think the industry will boom in Nigeria?

Also what do new data scientists start up as? Data analysts?

There are. Data science jobs.

The industry is already booming but not yet appreciated in Nigeria.

Long term target, it is a gold mine.

It depends on the vacant job role

Data Scientists

Data Analysts etc

Thank you very much for the quick response sire!

How about the salary scale in Nigeria? I’ve seen some tweets on Twitter asking for data scientists listing 800k above as salary, but I want to get a general idea.

I’m looking to become a data scientist by the end of August in 2022

When it comes to IT and Technology there is no limit on the amount you can earn.

However while the potential money can be a motivation, don’t let it be a distraction.

Hello Nairalanders,
I am back on this thread, after doing my deligent research. I have come to realize that i prefer data science to software development however i studied English Education and most jobs i am seeing requires a degree in statistics, mathematics or relevant courses. So do you guys think i should go for this challenge of becoming a data scientist with my English education background. Or i should forget about tech
