    Liked the analogy about cooking. If you are not putting the extra time to become the best version of yourself, the field you work in doesn’t really matter. It is really important to choose a career you think you will be able to constantly improve yourself in. Thus, you need to LOVE your field/job.

I can say, I don’t mind and enjoy doing about 90% of the things you mentioned. My next step is just having a company hire me so I can show my value

    Imo, a job is a job. I understand that people say to find a job you love because you'll have an interest in it but this is real life. Things don't always go the way you want them to go. A job is a job, you're gonna have to work and learn regardless of whether you like doing it or not. You can succeed in any career you could want to as long as you put the work in

      There’s actually not to much math involved or statistics unless you’re venturing into data science. For data analytics it’s more so gathering requirements and learning how to transform and load data into a data visualization too using sql!
