Well said Wale! Invaluable content. I have similar story. I transitioned from industrial chemistry to Data Analysis without going to school to study for it. I've since then worked in two multinationals after switching. Guys, if you're looking at transitioning to Data Analyst career, stick with Wale and take the online courses. It will help you.

Hey there, may I know how many hours (per day) or how long (as in months) it took for your learning before landing a data analyst job? Have been a math geek since youth, tho it gets real rusty after graduating from civil engineering school. I'm 28 now
