    Indeed. I graduated with a bachelor in economics and a master in Finance. I learned to use STATA pretty well and the theory, but absolutely no Excel skills or programing. I feel like I don't really know any useful skills, so I desperately try to learn some Python and some Excel right now to complement my education. It is actually a joke that you spend 5 years at uni and don't get to learn any practical skills relevant for your field, almost feels like I wasted 5 years of my life. I have seen a bunch of job applications requiring high levels of python, R or Excel skills but I have never seen STATA yet that was the main tool we used at my uni.

    I used Stata for my master's thesis. Never used it afterwards, never seen it in job ads. I didn't learn Excel, Power BI and other tools only after starting to work and encounter real business problems. The only issue is to get a job where you can flourish and learn these tools. I am quite empty handed to help you there... if you have the time and the energy, learn by yourself with exercises and real life projects that have a meaning to you (either personal or professional).

    ​@@Skumtomten1my background is economics and mathematics, and I work as a SAS programmer in the pharma industry. The math degree got me the interview but didn't require any programming. The econ degree did require a fair bit of R for econometrics. I wouldn't have been hired without that. My university contacted me for feedback a few years into my career and I was very clear that the mathematics department does not prepare its students for the world outside of academia, and students would be well-served to have a programming emphasis

I am an electrical engineer (renewables actually) and i really just want to be a data analyst in the power industry. Do you have or know anyone that one can follow on that path already? Not a spring chicken here (i am over 50 years old) just want to add more skills to my portfolio so i do not have to do much heavy lifting in a couple of years down the line. thank you so much for your videos. They actually are encouraging for people like me who are so swamped with all the information out there. Road map is really needed for guidance. Thank you again mate!

    Great video idea, it's something that will be an upcoming video on my channel for sure 😁 My general thoughts and opinion are that I welcome AI onboard. Being a data analyst is not just about writing code which AI is very good at. I'm more than happy for AI to do all of my boring, repetitive tasks such as data cleaning and transformation. You need to understand the business problems, engage with your stakeholders to come up with solutions, dashboards, processes that suit their needs. AI will certainly change the job tasks of data analysts, in a good way I believe - as rather than spending time doing monotonous tasks, I can spend more time doing value-add tasks.

    Hi Mo, thank you for your amazing content I learn a lot 😊 A quick question if you can help me: I currently work as financial accountant and want to transition into data analytics, there is a chance to do that within my current employer. They use google sheets to store their data and they do not use SQL (even tho they have a lot a data). For that reason, should I first learn python (I chose the course you recommend with the basics and libraries) and then SQL? Thank you so much for helping us and giving us valuable information and lessons!!

With that being said, I have a bachelors in marketing from an online degree mill and was wondering if this career path is even plausible for people with weaker credentials. If you legit where in my shoes, what type of job path would you take to eventually become a DA?

    I'm not saying it'll be easy but if you try hard enough and for long enough, you significantly increase your chances of succeeding. I've applied to hundreds of jobs in my life - but obviously only got the actual role a fraction of the times. If it was easy to be a data analyst then everyone would be and companies wouldn't pay you such high salaries. I made a video on how to become a data analyst, you should check that out. I also put together a data analyst roadmap at datawithmo.com/. These should help a lot! Thank you so much for watching 😁

    Great content! Some very important aspect to learn Python is to focus on the "field" Data Analysis and not to how to create and app or some other things that is off topic 👍 So great that you pointed that out to others 😊 You can easily take some tutorials with different projects for different purpose and be a master off copying those. But not be really good to data analysis 🙌 So I would also say that find some great dataset from example Kaggle and use the basics functions of pandas, numpy and So on 🎉

    I think my maths are weak a little bit for data analysis. I am learning machine learning and this is relatively easier to me because I did a bachelor degree in computer science with specialization in compilator's design and network programming. Also, I did 20 years before an expert system in clisp and some game solvers with sicstus. I considered someone able to solve a logic game is not a real software developer if this person doesn't write the code to solve the mystery word puzzle in the news paper. Don't disrespect yourself with only a pen with word puzzle please, this is not fun. My mathematical notions are limited to some books.(Actuarial Mathematics Bower, Life Insurance Mathematics, Theory of Interest Killison , stochastic Ross, some book of first statistic course where we teach how to use a moment-generating function , Calculus Spivak, Real Analysis for students in mathematics, Discrete math for CS, Numerical analysis, math for cryptanalysis, algorithm, linear algebras, and math for aircraft technicians. )

    Very insightful video. I am currently studying Python for data analysis, before I start my Data Science & AI masters degree in September. With your experience as a Masters student, do you think the course leaders would expect me to have prior knowledge of Python before classes start, or do you think they'll teach it from scratch? Just curious to know whether I'll have somewhat of a head start or if I could even be somewhat behind upon commencement of the course. Thanks Mo!

    They may teach the foundations at an accelerated pace or they may start from scratch, since it's a MSc in Data and AI I'd assume some knowledge of Python or R would be a prerequisite - I'd advise to just continue learning as much as you can before Sept to get the upper hand. Even better if you can get a couple projects under your belt!
