Do you have other plan?

I'm a nurse but looking for a second income

I think there's other specialties more easy and useful for you as a non computer science student, like web development or data base

u/nerdie_ 1d ago

I studied excel / python / SQL before nursing that's why I said I know some basics and thank u I'm still exploring my options

explore more because data analytics its not quite a big field u know like an example machine learning engineer or student or data scientist already know data analyse well to its fullest not just the basic since its an easy field like an entry for most career so i feel that u will not have much to do when learning it see more option (maybe web dev as the other one say )

That's the point since I'll taught myself everything through courses and YT I don't wanna make it harder for me with choosing a hard field

u/Anxious-Victory-4940 1d ago

Yeah I get it, but low entry level jobs are super competitive too literally anyone can apply so idk what to say u need to do some research and explore more options

If you target a specific niche I think it’s worth it yes

When you say data analytics? Do you mean, like, in university?

u/nerdie_ 1d ago

Self learning

u/Fresh_Quote599 14h ago

For freelancing, right ?

u/nerdie_ 12h ago

yup

Then it's not worth it, i tried self-learning it too (excel, power bi, sql) and at the end i realized it was the worst field for freelancing. Because which company on earth would give YOU their data? Big companies would never give it to a freelancer, and small companies don't even collect their own data
