I decided to face my fear. I completed the Datascience with python track in DataCamp
It took me about 4-5hrs of daily learning for 6 weeks.
Thanks to @TundeTASH for the motivation
I find DataCamp to be a good resource for beginners. Let me tell you how i learnt for FREE👇
There are many courses out there but it is important to find the right one meeting your needs
So I went on Quora to read experiences of people learning datascience. Fortunately DataCamp was offering a free learning week. I took a week-off from work to maximize the opportunity
Afterwards, I realized Microsoft offers 2months free DataCamp subscription for its users.
This free subscription allows you to testrun before paying and if you are fast and motivated like me, you can even finish a whole skill track within 2 months.
I got talking with one of my professors yesterday & he revealed to me that he received higher number of applications from Nigeria & India from his recent adverts for fully funded phd positions
I then asked him what he looks for in a convincing application. This is what he said👇
He said most of the motivational letters are always too general and not targeted. Usually they receive up to 50 applications for one position and they want the best candidate regardless of nationality.
So you stand a chance if you prove yourself better than a German or whoever
These professors need to deliver results for the funding organization and they cannot afford to hire someone that wont do a good job because their reputation might be tainted if they cannot deliver. They usually accept to train you but the research potential must be clear.
