So I've been interested in data science
for some time and then the
opportunity at work came along where we
wanted to do some predictive analytics.
Nobody really knew what that meant or
how we could apply it at work, so I
started looking around at some options
and, you know, you hear about the Coursera
course, the data science course, and so I
started that and it just didn't fit. It
wasn't, I needed more, and so that's when
I started looking for something in-person,
live, where I could go and have
interaction and learn it in a much
deeper level. Well, I chose this bootcamp
primarily because it was a limited
amount of time. It's 5 days. I could come in, I
could take a week off of work, I could do it,
and then I could go home, so I didn't
have to spend 6 weeks or 12 weeks and
it didn't cost $60,000 like some of
these master's programs in data science.
Yes, I definitely feel like I can apply
this. In fact, Monday, I'm starting a
project and we're going to be actually
using this stuff and it was, it's
the perfect intro to what I'm starting very
soon. It's amazing.
Data science is for everyone and that
actually, in the past five years, data
science, the term data scientist, has been
this buzzword, but, oh you need a Ph.D., oh,
you need a master's in mathematics. You don't
have to be a Ph.D. and you can really get
a ton of value out of it every single day.
