Idk that’s definitely not true at my school at least

what makes you say that? are you deep into uncovering declassified government documents? what's the point?

I disagree with the last sentence but this course is great MIT offers a lot of free cs education as well

then you chose the right school

we turn down CS majors all the time, especially if their GitHub is empty

most colleges don't teach people how to build projects and work with people, they just teach theory

See if you can take some data science courses

Are you a dev at your company?

not anymore. DevOps

Nice! DevOps is cool. Never really liked infra too much, but it's a huge and important space

OP what did you do before KTT, did these thoughts just live in your mind forever

It was literally a masters degree in data science what can I do with it?

I was listening to black boy fly by Kendrick Lamar and he said

“The art of us ditching classes, heading nowhere fast
Stick my head inside the study hall, he focused on math”

And thought I’m good at math but I’m doing f*** all with it

Someone else may be able to give you a better answer but my basic understanding is you’re running lots of statistical tests on large data sets to look for patterns, pharma and financial service companies hire a lot of them, I think most of the ds classes at my school are taught in python and you’ll need to have taken stats and linear algebra and also probably calc and differential equations

Lmao what... For example, I'm learning IT and work in it, but I still want to learn and get good at mechanical engines and cars, programming, especially web coding, CyberSec, electrical and computer engineering, even gourmet cooking and carpentry s***.

There's so much you can learn to better yourself and make you a well rounded candidate for positions. On top of that, if you learn practical tool skills, you can save a lot of money by doing your own work and knowing it's being done right.

I've always been a DIY person cuz I'm cheap so I always wanna learn new things.

I was offered a £10000 scholarship to do it back in 2020 based on my degree and under representation of black people in the course but wasn’t ready to go back to school.

Hope the opportunity’s still there. Just emailed the professor who sent the original offer

That’s great let me know if you get accepted

If you want to use more of the math you’ve learned in school it’s definitely a good career path

Thanks, everyone I know in computer science is doing well financially

I doubt that there's enough time for all that.

How are you planning on keeping the skills sharp? At a certain point it's impractical imo.

I like the DIY stuff too but unfortunately our society isn't structured to facilitate everyone doing everything for themselves.
