Help A Confused Soul: Data Science, BI Analysis Or Software Development by yerobiukini(op): 1:58pm On Oct 07, 2021
Thanks for coming in and your opinion is highly appreciated.

I am a freshman in the University of Ilorin currently studying Agriculture (economics minor) but along the line, I developed interest in techy jobs. After embarking on research, I am stuck choosing between Data Science (with specialty in machine and deep learning), Business intelligence analysis and software development.

I seek advice from expert in the house as to which one should I go for considering the following criteria:

- There is tendency I go into academics (I felt data science will enhance my research prowess)

- learning curve

- Future potential in terms of Job security, and financial gains

PS: You can also contribute base on criteria you deem important

Gracias

Research about them naw and what they do. It is littered everywhere on the net and things to consider is

Resources
Learning curve
Time of mastery
Relatability

Just remove job security, future potential and pay from the equation. Any of them would give all this thing if you master them.
