>Have degree in chemistry >No jobs, start data science master degree >Job offers during the pandemic, finally pick one after I build some confidence in my new skills after 3 months >Fast forward 2 years later, earning tons of money >Masters degree 80% finished
I know I should finish my masters but nobody asked to check if I actually finished it. It was really good to set the foundations about what I should study but now I see it as a big waste of time: difficult assignments that don’t teach me anything new and are a big time sink when I could be studying another O’reilly book and pursuing my own personal projects.
i have a question. I have a master degree in biostatistics aka applied stats. what entry level jobs are the most common/recommended in this field? thanks in advance

As someone who is just getting into software development would it be worth getting a degree in computer science or just teaching myself? How much do potential employers care about higher education versus demonstrable knowledge? I would also be looking at doing a double degree. Are there any particular degrees that would be advantageous to combine with?

college is for connections and internships. The education is obviously worth it at good institutions, but it's not like you can't teach yourself anyways.

I was thinking I might as well do the degree (it would be at a respected university) and could still teach myself in the mean time. Hopefully I could pick up a job in the field while I'm still studying.

What are the best and most revered German universities for studying computer science?
Jayden Moore
yeah, that's how you do it pretty much, with that mindset you'll do right. Just network with professors, make a few good projects, and apply to summer internships and by the time you graduate, you'll have an offer locked down.

I need help. Some context: >graduation is something like information management (south american), basically IT (python, databases, data modelling, data theory, data mining...), business (processes, marketing, biz accounting, biz management, biz strategy...), information science and "mixed" topics (very fundamental statistics, veeeery fundamental math...) >currently in an internship but it's more marketing than data science, don't do anything Any Forums related >need to find a full time job before september what are the mandatory, fundamental skills for a data scientist? something practical I can learn quickly and that is relevant? I'm somewhat of a brainlet with math and statistics. Is it over? I thought of studying Python, math/statistics and some data science related skill/tool daily.
