Three facts you need to realize about data science:

1. Learning is not enough
2. You need experience to get a job
3. You need principles for working

#datascience #66daysofdata
1/ Learning is not enough

A hiring manager isn’t going to be able to open your head, peek inside your brain, and verify if you know how to do this thing or that, or how well you understand this, that or the other.

That’s why you need to do a project.
2/ You need experience to get a job

But that doesn’t mean you need a job to get experience.

Data is everywhere.

You don’t need to be in a job at a company to get access to data.

If you know where to look and how to search for it, you’ll quickly see that it is everywhere.
3/ You need principles for working

The data science life cycle is a set of principles for doing data science work.

All problems are different, but you can still use a set of principles to help you find a solution.

You can develop and cultivate this intuition through projects.
In this short read I go into the above points in a bit more detail:

There are only ten days left in 2021.

Did you learn anything new?

Here are six of the biggest lessons I've learned this year from @jockowillink, @TomBilyeu, @ScottAdamsSays, @naval, @nntaleb, and @jaltucher.

Let's get into it 🧵
1/ Say good when things are bad

This one I learned from @jockowillink.

You will face failures, setbacks, and defeats 100x over.

When that happens, say "Good".

This is your opportunity to figure out a solution.

And it doesn't matter if you don't know the answer, because...
2/ You can learn new skills at any time in any area.

This one I learned from @TomBilyeu.

No matter what you're capable of right now, believe you can learn and improve.

It's the only belief that matters.

No need to be the best in the thing you're learning, because...
