Questions to Ask Yourself:
- Am I prepared to seriously commit to learning? Data Science has a steep learning curve. You also have to invest in learning after getting a job or finishing school.
- Can you identify problems and seek out solutions? People will not tell you how to solve every problem. You have to be creative enough to identify problems and generate custom solutions to them
- Do you have an aptitude for math? The foundation of data science is in math. You need to be comfortable with this to excel in the field.
- Are you interested in computer science and programming? Most day to day data science work requires programming. You must be comfortable learning these techniques.
- Do you have a knack for story telling and explaining complex concepts in simple terms? You commonly have to explain your findings to business holders. If you cannot put your findings in their terms, they will likely not use your work.
