Indeed. I graduated with a bachelor in economics and a master in Finance. I learned to use STATA pretty well and the theory, but absolutely no Excel skills or programing. I feel like I don't really know any useful skills, so I desperately try to learn some Python and some Excel right now to complement my education. It is actually a joke that you spend 5 years at uni and don't get to learn any practical skills relevant for your field, almost feels like I wasted 5 years of my life. I have seen a bunch of job applications requiring high levels of python, R or Excel skills but I have never seen STATA yet that was the main tool we used at my uni.

@original12310 8 ай бұрын

I used Stata for my master's thesis. Never used it afterwards, never seen it in job ads. I didn't learn Excel, Power BI and other tools only after starting to work and encounter real business problems. The only issue is to get a job where you can flourish and learn these tools. I am quite empty handed to help you there... if you have the time and the energy, learn by yourself with exercises and real life projects that have a meaning to you (either personal or professional).

@@Skumtomten1my background is economics and mathematics, and I work as a SAS programmer in the pharma industry. The math degree got me the interview but didn't require any programming.

My university contacted me for feedback a few years into my career and I was very clear that the mathematics department does not prepare its students for the world outside of academia, and students would be well-served to have a programming emphasis

They use google sheets to store their data and they do not use SQL (even tho they have a lot a data). For that reason, should I first learn python (I chose the course you recommend with the basics and libraries) and then SQL? Thank you so much for helping us and giving us valuable information and lessons!!

I'm not saying it'll be easy but if you try hard enough and for long enough, you significantly increase your chances of succeeding.

If it was easy to be a data analyst then everyone would be and companies wouldn't pay you such high salaries. I made a video on how to become a data analyst, you should check that out. I also put together a data analyst roadmap at datawithmo.com/. These should help a lot! Thank you so much for watching 😁

Being a data analyst is not just about writing code which AI is very good at. I'm more than happy for AI to do all of my boring, repetitive tasks such as data cleaning and transformation. You need to understand the business problems, engage with your stakeholders to come up with solutions, dashboards, processes that suit their needs. AI will certainly change the job tasks of data analysts, in a good way I believe - as rather than spending time doing monotonous tasks, I can spend more time doing value-add tasks.

I need serious advice. I v science background and have worked with it for 7 years. With the hope of changing career I went to read msc supply chain management. Later read another msc in international business. With these two masters I still haven’t been able to change career. I desire to dive into data science or cybersecurity or data analytics. Just worried n don’t know what to do

😢 for someone that does not know anything in programming I’m still lost Please do I have to learn html and css first?

Very insightful video. I am currently studying Python for data analysis, before I start my Data Science & AI masters degree in September. With your experience as a Masters student, do you think the course leaders would expect me to have prior knowledge of Python before classes start, or do you think they'll teach it from scratch? Just curious to know whether I'll have somewhat of a head start or if I could even be somewhat behind upon commencement of the course. Thanks Mo!

They may teach the foundations at an accelerated pace or they may start from scratch, since it's a MSc in Data and AI I'd assume some knowledge of Python or R would be a prerequisite - I'd advise to just continue learning as much as you can before Sept to get the upper hand. Even better if you can get a couple projects under your belt!

@@mahirahman6168 Thanks for your response. I'm currently studying the Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate on Coursera so I'm just trying to grasp everything really and hoping to learn as much as I can before September.

They'll probably have a couple catch up classes to bring everyone up to speed, but knowing some basics before going into the masters will be helpful for sure 😁Good luck with your degree and thanks so much for watching!

@@mo-chen Thanks Mo, I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my comment. Yeah trying to learn the basics now so I can be competent in the course. I’ve heard some people do a Masters degree as a career change, so was thinking they’d have some beginner classes just to get everyone up to speed. Fingers crossed I’ll be fine. Thanks for creating such fantastic content :)

@@BradRowlands_ Hiii! l just wanted to ask the process of career change in masters. I am starting my undergrad degree in engineering in november but l want to persue my career in data science in future. I am basically doing engineering because l am passionate about my major and do want to learn but data science is also going to help in my research regarding my major. The problem is, they don't offer any courses on data science(l only have 2 C courses). So l thought that maybe l could do a masters on data science and do research on my field. But how will l get acceptance in masters if l don't have any prior course on this subject in undergrad? I am trying to self-learn as much as l can before my classes start though.

I can't promise anything but I'll certainly try my best to make a video like that. Thanks a lot for watching this one 😁

so first step is to learn python basics and next move to learn the libraries right?

I think my maths are weak a little bit for data analysis. I am learning machine learning and this is relatively easier to me because I did a bachelor degree in computer science with specialization in compilator's design and network programming. Also, I did 20 years before an expert system in clisp and some game solvers with sicstus. I considered someone able to solve a logic game is not a real software developer if this person doesn't write the code to solve the mystery word puzzle in the news paper. Don't disrespect yourself with only a pen with word puzzle please, this is not fun. My mathematical notions are limited to some books.(Actuarial Mathematics Bower, Life Insurance Mathematics, Theory of Interest Killison , stochastic Ross, some book of first statistic course where we teach how to use a moment-generating function , Calculus Spivak, Real Analysis for students in mathematics, Discrete math for CS, Numerical analysis, math for cryptanalysis, algorithm, linear algebras, and math for aircraft technicians. )
