Deciding Career Path

Hello guys. Hope you are doing well. Today I'm gonna reveal my decision regarding career path. After a lot of confusion, asking seniors and a lot of time spent on researching I've decided I'm gonna pursue my career in Data Science.

What is Data Science?

Data science uses a combination of various tools, algorithms, formulas, and machine learning principles to draw hidden patterns from raw data. Following that, these patterns can be applied to improve mechanism of many aspects and have an impact on decision-making. Now you guys will be asking why I have chosen that. The reason behind choosing Data Science as my career path is my peak interest in data, revolutionizing applications of Data Science and huge demand of data specialist in technology sector.

Applications of Data science

Why Data Science?

Firstly, I have realized that I am really curious about data. It makes me exited. Cause it's not just some random information about an entity. It tells a story as we can know the background story as we go deep. We can compare, manipulate, analyze, predict future and many more with the help of data science. That's why it's so much interesting to me. Secondly, now in the age of AI data science has reached new heights. Today Data Science is dominating almost every sector of our society such as Business, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Retail, Financial Services etc. It is capable of revolutionizing every aspect of our life. Infect it has been doing already. Lastly, the demand for data scientists has soared to unprecedented heights. Businesses all throughout the world are keen to use their knowledge as know they depend more than ever on people who can effectively navigate through data due to the growth of big data. This is proven by the large number of data scientist job postings, many of which come with attractive salary packages. Choosing a career in data science offers financial rewards in addition to job stability. It is anticipated that the demand will increase even more as 2024 approaches. That's why after thoughtful consideration I've chosen Data Science as my main career path.

Small Twist

However, there is a small twist . Though I've chosen a career in Data Science, for now I'm gonna focus on Web Development . Although there are rumors that AI will replace developers soon but I still think Web Development is a very basic thing every techie should know. Moreover, there is a very good amount of demand for backend developers specially full stack developers in the local market. That's why I am going to focus on full stack development for now. Later after getting a good grasp in development, I'm gonna shift to Data Science and get in-depth skilled in it.

Final Words

To end, I hope I can dominate in Data Science and make major contribution to the society. Another thing is You never know what may happen in future. That's why one should be always prepared to change their domain if it becomes necessary to cope up with industry. Though I have chosen Data Science as my career path, in future I might shift to another path if that's what I have to do. For one should never stop learning and one should always explore different technologies.
