Your task is simple: Remove the things that hold you back! And you’ll be surprised at how fast you move forward.
1. You think your degree is enough
You have a master’s degree in a quantitative field, or maybe even a PhD. Now you want a head start in Data Science.
Congratulations on your degree. Now get cracking on the hard work.
2. You lack passion
Have you ever invested an entire weekend in a geeky project? Have you ever spent your nights browsing GitHub while your friends were out to party? Have you ever said no to doing your favorite hobby because you’d rather code?
Think about what attracts you to becoming a Data Scientist. Is it the glamorous job title? Or is it the prospect of ploughing through tons of data on the search for insights? If it is the latter, you’re heading in the right direction.
3. You’re not crazy enough
Only crazy ideas are good ideas. And as a Data Scientist, you’ll need plenty of those. Not only will you need to be open to unexpected results — they occur a lot!
But it’s worth it. Because you’re being true to yourself. And you’re igniting the spark of awesomeness that you need as a Data Scientist.
