Chapter 3: Getting the Skills
Listen now
Description
It seems there are so many “required” skills for a data science job—how can someone possibly learn them? In this episode, we discuss four possible ways to do so: a formal degree program, a boot camp, learning on the job, and teaching yourself. We also share our own very different backgrounds: Jacqueline's math master's and engineering PhD versus Emily's statistics minor, master's in organizational behavior, and a boot camp.
