    After watching this video I have to say I feel even more motivated and excited to developing the skills for this field. It looks like it might be the change I'm looking for which can lead to the other experiences of work that data analytics can act as a springboard.

    Thank you for this video!! I am a cost analyst and there is some overlap in the "struggles" with the job. I've wondered if I would like data analysis more. This gives me some important points to consider.

    Agree, i've completed two data analysis courses it feels good but once i started doing my first project i got hit by reality, i thought if this is hard i wonder how hard it'll be once i get a job, but once you complete that first project no matter how awful that project looks it feels sensational and the second project will be much better. Another downside is when doing a personal project it's easy to find the right dataset but in a real job nobody knows where is the data 😂.

      Try out online courses to see if you're really sure about it. Boot camps can be helpful, but they are expensive and it's easy to fall into their trap thinking that it's the only way to succeed.

      ​@@sadephillips9645 I would not really call DE having minor communication. Though yes it might be less than DA, my experience as a DE is that you will still have to communicate with your client/stakeholder and absolutely understand how their business model works and how your data system fills in the gap, and also communicate with both data source people like SW and consumers like DA/DS. Although admittedly those things might be delegated to the more experienced DE person and not entry level.

Machine learning and data analyst is what I’m split on I already know the basics of python and would be willing to learn more. Im looking at both of these at free code camp.

      He skimmed over one MAJOR downside, that data analysts are not regraded as "tech," and consequently are not paid as well as data engineers and other less customer-facing people in any organisation. Their salaries peak at about a half of what the others can make. Consequently people tend not to stay in data analysis for very long. Whereas the people WITHOUT communication skills who sit and code on their own make twice as much.
