I saw this thread last year and it was the finally icing on my cake to go into Data Analysis. I just got my system and I'm ready to take off, I wish there are beginners like me here who can walk this journey with me. Thank you to the op who started this God bless you.


I'm also a beginner like you and I just got my laptop, can we connect??

Bro Good evening, have you registered for your class as a data scientist? What is the cost? What is the duration?

Bro evening. I've been offline for sometime. Sorry it's coming late.

I got a fairly used car and I've been driving for Uber since. I come home too late and I go out too early.

It's difficult and I just couldn't pull that off.

Have you started yours?

To make it simple without technical words... Data analysis is just a branch of Data science. As a data Analytist,
You will collect datas from different sources, then put it in a right format by cleaning, dealing the missing values..(this look simple in writings, but this where Data Analytist spend like 70% of your time).. after making your data cleaned. Then you tell a story with the data by visualization ( take for instance, with a retail company dataset, you can tell a story of how much they make in a current year compared to previous year, what Item sold most, behavior of their customers toward the company..and so on.. with this story you can draw an insight of area the company should improve on, and the kind relationship(Marketing) they should build with their customers.

With above information, then a data scientist can go further to build a different kind of model with the dataset data analysts has cleaned, he/she can build a model to cluster the customers, can model a model to predict the future sales, can build a model to predict the products that are likely to make high purchase in years to come. And lot more....

So, in short, a data scientist can be a Data Analytist but a Data Analytist can not be a Data scientist

About learning Data Analysis or Data science If you really mean Business(well discipline) and hold any certifications related to statistics, engineering, computer science or any related courses, I will advise you to do self education(With right steps to fellow, internet is more than enough as your school), because most of the advanced things you will be needing has to be source by yourself, the schools and courses will only provides the basic knowledge( maybe build a simple regression model) and the job is not just about building a model. It about how robotic the model is...

Thanks I really appreciate. I graduated as a Chemical Engineer.you have gone very far.


You have been studying all by yourself?

Please recommend study centres in Port Harcourt. Studying by myself may not be possible. A lady with kids, so I need a tutor to guide me. I have downloaded a lot of materials but would appreciate an aggressive tutor that knows his onion.


What is your opinion about NIIT/APTECH?

What are my chances of getting a job as a data analyst / data scientist?

Chances of getting a job? Truth is, I can’t really tell you, I started this journey last year April, somehow I think I may be ready for job, but yet have never put in for any.. taking my time to build by portfolio maybe till end of March before I started putting in. Though, a lot of negative and positive opinion online about getting job as data scientist but what I always tell myself is No work is easy to come by.. the world is saturated, arguably!.. But having that skill make you a step ahead... When are good in it and with patient God will unfold better things.

With your gender and your background, you have an upper hand... just give yourself range of time and decide on what to learn.. but please note You can’t learn data science within 6 month as been advertised online.. not because it too hard but there are many things to learn. Excel, sql. Power bi, Tableau, Python, machine learning, deep learning and so on

I will suggest you go for data analysis maybe with vision of becoming Data scientist afterward, with vigorous learning I bet you will be ready within six months

If you want to go for data analysis, just focus on excel, power bi/tableau and MySQL

About where to learn, I can’t really say, maybe other people can make a suggestion for you.

What material have you gotten so far and what is your experience learning?

If u are discipline enuf , u can self study and also study online. Buy courses from udemy , enrol on free study sites , COURSERA , EDX etc are great sites for learning. If u can devote 8hrs daily for learning, in 6months u should be ready for a job. Start with SQL ,EXCEL , TABLEAU/ POWER BI , PYTHON/ R PROGRAMMING. if u can master these tools , u are ready for a job

You are very correct... But most importantly, you have to be consistent and determined

If you're curious, these are examples of lists. We'll talk about
them in depth a few lessons from now. For now, just know that they're
yet another type of Python object, like int or float.
a = [1,2,3]
b = [3,2,1]
q2.store_original_ids()

#
Your code goes here. Swap the values to which a and b refer.
If you get stuck, you can always uncomment one or both of the lines in
the next cell for a hint, or to peek at the solution.

what are we trying to achieve here with the swap.

Just wondering where I can post this under a section, jobs, diary or here ?

I’ve also heard some good testimonies how some have gotten jobs and internships.. I know it’s not easy but we are all gonna make it.
