Music —> Public Policy —> Tech
That’s the path I took to get into Data Science. It’s not the most direct, but I wouldn’t change it!
My experience in each industry taught me skills I use everyday as a professional in Data Science:
✔️ Practice makes progress (Music) —> Coding is a skill that needs to be practiced everyday!
🗣 Communication skills (Public Policy) —> Knowing how to present and report your findings is essential.
📈 Data analytics & machine learning (Public Policy) —> Learning social science statistics and econometrics is a game changer.
💡 Work smarter (Tech) —> Embrace tight deadlines and improve your processes to become more efficient!
