What educational backgrounds lend themselves well to becoming a data scientist?
- Most data science position descriptions, they're hoping they can get statisticians or computer scientists, and that makes total sense, but also, engineers make great data scientists, and it's not too far of a leap. Some engineers don't have the coding experience or perhaps the statistical know-how that they need to do data science, but it's not too much further out. Even people that have backgrounds in finance and anyone that's got a heavy focus in quantitative analysis as part of their main course of study, or main tasks at work, they're going to be a step ahead.
