What's the most practical way to acquire the skills and experience needed to become a data scientist
- The best path to take to get into data science depends a lot on your background, but if you have a quantitative background, it shouldn't be too hard to make that transition. You can just take some online courses and then so long as you have some coding skills in object oriented languages like Python or R, once you learn the data science methodologies, you can start working on implementing those in your professional life or even in little hobby projects you create after work. That was how I made my transition was I got my employer, I got them to get me training that helped me perform my job and then I just started implementing that in work and that was an efficient way of learning.
