Thank you Mr.Klein for always emphasizing on the importance of projects and experience rather than papers and certifications.

Great video! I opted for a Masters in computer science with a concentration in ML / AI over a Masters in data science. From my experience, this degree holds slightly more weight in industry. I had to learn many concepts unrelated to data science, but I have been able to leverage many of these skills in my personal projects. Nothing against Masters in DS programs, but I think that this path is also a very viable route!

Dude, awesome video and absolutely spectacular green landscape in a very depressing UK skyline that is ALWAYS gray and liquid sunshine-y. Thanks for sharing your perspectives!

Thank you so much for the information!! It was super helpful and loved the creativity in your video which isn’t just sitting in a room and talking!

Top notch transitions in this episode. I particularly enjoyed the brolly transition :)

I would like to share my experience, I am an ungrad in computer science and have immense interest in data science , when I was in my third year of uni I started slogging all soughts of concepts of machine learning and data science which was really fruitful for me.Done certain research work even and landed a job as a data scientist.One thing I learned in my struggle days was that the more force u put to learn something more amazing will be the output.Love learning guys This man has always been a inspiration for me.

Thank you so much Mr Klein, this is the video I needed, I thought that this would be the case, I am glad now that I am certain what is necessary

Very concise and insightful analysis, thank you! Highly creative video, too!

Thanks for this video! I'm glad to know that I'm on the right path.

Very comprehensive and thoughtful. Thanks!

Thank you! amazing as always

Great tips! Thanks!

It felt like you made that video specially for me. Thank you very much for this video.

It was a rainy day for Data Science, but you shed some light on us, Thanks!

This is a great flowing and well structured video. Extremely detail and effective information. Well done!

Thanks for your insight

Very informative video sir! Thank you!

Thank you man! Great tips!!

Great advises. Thank you very much

Wow man, great info! You just earned a new sub!

Great video format! It makes watching a 7 minute video very easy.

This is not just an average guidance for career, you are a mentor of life, thank you so much.

Hey, I want to say thank you for making a great video where each second is worth it

Awesome bro! thanks for the help.......

Congratulations reaching the 100k subscribers! Greetings from Mexico ! 🌮🌮🌮

when Im down, I watch your videos and i feel inspired to continue... thanks

Love this!

What an amazing channel. Congrats!

You are a Great motivator for me... keep up the good work...

Your videos are great sir, hello from Ireland!

Thanks for information about data science courses in Coursera. I am going to learn it.

Great content as always and extremely relevant. Please make a video on how older professionals can get into this field. I am a meteorologist working with the govt. Developed love for data science while working with weather data and so want to get into this field full time.

This guy gives me a hope of stepping into this field without a masters and PhD. I have seen other software developers on KZfaq who emphasize that jobs are scarce in data science and without a degree and experience in this field, chances are slim. So, they push you to learn web stack development side of things to get quickly employed than putting your effort into this field.

Great video bud 👍

I’ll like videos content and the way u introduce that content to audience

You cannot get a Data Analyst or Data Scientist jobs if you don’t graduate at the famous schools/universities with a bachelor degree. Otherwise, they require minimum 3-5 years experience, or at least have Master or Ph.D.

I just wanna learn to predict your cameras dispositions, that's all.

Here is my background: I have a masters in exercise science, not a very useful degree unless I go for a doctorate in some related field which I am not interested in doing. I have no background in business, marketing, or computer science for that matter, but I enjoy mathematics and statistics and learning to code. My job experience is weak to say the least; overnight crew at a grocery store, salesfloor team member at Target, personal trainer at 24 hour fitness, and a physical therapy aid at a local clinic since graduating with my masters. Essentially, I have been making minimum or near minimum wage since graduation. My question is: Since I have no technical background and essentially no job experience related to data science, would investing upwards of 60k for a masters in data science give me any sort of edge versus if I tried to learn everything on my own? I understand doing capstone projects and uploading them to GitHub is helpful, but I would also be doing this as part of a curriculum and getting credentials for it. I feel like the degree would give me more credibility and the skills to work on more projects. I ask this because I am already near 100k in debt from my exercise science degree but jobs are very limited, and I enjoy coding and working with numbers much more so than working at a clinic or at gym trying to sell training packages.

The way you put together different perspectives was really helpful.

Love your contents! very well said. I always look forward to your videos. A kind suggestion, can you please not add music in the background while you talk? It's very distracting. Being hard-of-hearing, it's like listening to two things at once. It's hard to focus on what you are saying. Thanks!

Thank you...your videos are great motivation.

Fantastic, I totally agree with you.

Thanks for this great content, I love the place where you recorded it! Where is it?

3:18 that is such a beautiful place would love to go hiking there

Awesome video..

Nice, video. Giles. U clarified my query. I too have the same question. U r doing very innovative ways in videos.

I need to get started now ....

4:44 what a splendid transition

YES. PhD or Masters degree level knowledge.

Your camera tricks are awesome..love from India

good topic and video

Exactly what people need to hear. You dont need a phd if you are not going to do state of the art stuff. If your undergrad course is somehow lacking something, a masters will help you so much.

Your audio quality is superb

Amazing video

Just in time!!!! I was thinking about getting a MsC abroad next year but I was wondering if that was a good idea. Question: can you do this job part-time? And is it a good option?

I can't decide which is more beautiful between the two : your country or the video content ??

Thanks for your great support sir , HUGE LOVE AND RESPECT FROM INDIA

Thank You sir.. Can you Plz make us a video on how to manage a Ph.D i am in my third year and really lost cant even organize tasks ect.. SOS !

Hoho, dudde, i hardly understand what you saying, english is not my language, but OMG your's Town is beateauful!

Hey Giles. Very informative video. I recently talked to a college about an MSc in Data Science, they said they teach R in their semesters but expect you to do your dissertation in Python (they also said "you can always submit your papers in Python but we teach R"). Does that make any sense? Wouldn't it be confusing for someone who has already been studying Python on his own, like me? Also, what do you think of Tableau?

I was wondering what kind of data science project is enough for entry level position

Very charismatic ! Do you think it is possible to be a programmer as a hobby? Different plans for my master

Where do you live? The surroundings are alluring to say the least.

I love your videos

Just found KZfaq useful after watching your videos

im doin my masters in bioprocess engineering by research now.. and im doin some kind of simulation using ANN with Python.. the more i learn ANN with Python, the more i think i wana to shift to a data science job

I am sort of coming from the other direction. My work is transitioning me to a data analytics position from an operations background. This first year I am mostly developing data analytics skills in excel, with some soft use of SAS and SQL. I was hoping to leverage the opportunity to grow into a more data science-oriented position, not research-oriented, but more business predictive and analysis oriented. I was afraid that there was a hard line between analytics and data science, but at the end of this video, you even mention that as the typical career development. So, am I in a good spot to put the time in developing skills on my own as I learn on the job and work my way up?

Amazing Sir, I am a physician from Mexico currently looking for data science positions in the US. Already made a master, but your videos are great to point the right direction for people that are not from the field. Thank you!

Thanks a LOT !!!!

Hey Python Programmer! I'm currently doing my bachelors in statistics & actuarial science. I've been picking up some python skills (learning the necessary libraries: pandas, numpy, scikit learn, etc). I plan on also learning SQL in the coming months with hopes to land a data science internship next summer. How possible is it for me to land a job right in the field of data science, rather than data analytics? Here in America, data scientists are compensated far more than analysts, and I would really prefer this. Also, outside of using machine learning techniques in their careers, what more does a data scientist do over a data analyst? Thanks so much for your informative and inspiring videos. You have no idea how much you've helped me in this field❤.

Also I would like to add as well. What else should I focus on studying besides Python? Is it really necessary to learn Power-Bi or Tableau? Doesn't PYTHON come with a visualization Application? I noticed a lot of Certificate courses offer training in either Power-Bi or Tableau. Are these visualizations applications really necessary? thank you for reading.

Intro edit must of been done by the same person who edit liam neeson jumping over a fence in one of the taken movies

An Msc in Statistics is more than plenty

Excellent video! What if you already have a BSc, MSc and PhD in non-quantitative (biological sciences) subjects? Is the self-taught + portfolio/projects route enough?

I've seen a lot of channels that produce low-effort basic-tier content primarily targeting beginners and that's what I thought this channel was going to be, but I'm cautiously optimistic about this channel after watching this first video. I think you handled the nuance inherent in this topic very well, especially given how charged it has become lately, and I genuinely hope you continue to effectively communicate the intricacies of data science without watering it down or trivializing it.

Is a research masters (MPhil) in Statistics or Econometrics good preparation for becoming a data scientist/analyst? Are there subfields within statistics or econometrics that are particularly relevant to data analysis? (Monte-carlo methods or time series analysis?)

Great location i m also coming

bachelor is ok for employment

I got an offer to study BSc Data Science at University of Warwick!

I am an undergraduate student doing my engineering in electronics and communication department. Do you think I can shift my career path to become a data scientist? How?

i have a major in Psychology and really want to transition to Data Science.. what do you recommend to help get noticed with employers, once i learnd all the theory and have real projects to show?

hello sir,have been following for quite a long time,i hv motivated myself to learn Data science and currently following your links from coursera and udemy but still i have some 'if and buts" going in my mind. i hv done btech in civil engineering but did android programming for last two years using java. I have basic concepts cleared in linear algebra,numerical analysis,differential calculus...and learning machine learning algorithms by myself, the only question is will self learning in this scenerio and with my profile as i mentioned, land me in a data analyst job? your response will much be appreciated :)

Greetings from London!!!!

I am actually in an internship for data analyst and its going good your videos helped me a lot and i am thinking to do masters but i dont have any idea what kind of ms should i go for your guidance is always helpful

Out of curiosity, what sort of educational background does the Python Programmer have?

Short answer, NO! )

I have faith in you ♥️

could we stop music i can't focus

Sir, *I have completed my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering.* Now I'm aiming towards becoming a successful data scientist with the right qualifications. I think I'm a good programmer but I lack in mathematical part of data science, so *Is it viable to do **M.Sc** in Statistics?*

Great content, thank you for that. You should consider REMOVING THE background MUSIC from your videos. They are not serving any purpose, adding to the quality - it's just a distraction. Please consider. Thanks and regards from NYC, the DS epicenter! ;)

It's awesome place. Where do you live and which place is that (showed in the video)??

The term scientist is often a stretch for what most people actually do in their daily job.

*Sir i have a Question:* tensor flow 2.0 is here, so do i need to master tensor 1 to understand 2.0 And there's a new edition available for O'Really hands on machine learning with sklearn keras and tensorflow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 if u are interested in reviewing.

I'm just about to start a Masters in Operational Research this autumn, after a not-so-successful Mechanical Engineering Bachelor. What is your knowledge on Operational Research jobs and how much they would differ from a Data Analyst job? Thanks.

Hey I'm doing an undergrad in Data Science. Do you recommend getting a Masters?

I am always ask what's your job .. ? youtube ? And thank your for the great content .. ! ✌

I'm learning python right now. Can I apply for jobs as a data analyst once I am comfortable using python?

Why do all videos on KZfaq insist on having crappy background music? It's just annoying when I'm just trying to hear and understand what you're saying. if I want to listen to music, I'll go to the Naxos music library with 100 of thousands of CDs available to stream. Now that my rant's over, thanks for the advice.

I work as a data analyst, such a gruesome role. So much data cleaning :(

If you actually want to be employed as a data scientist than you need a PHD or Masters. Being competent is irrelevant.
