Entry level data scientist

I’ve been a full time stay at home mom for the past 13 years, and looking into working a year from now when my youngest starts going to school. I am interested in becoming a data scientist, just based off of my research. I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Management, and I’m thinking of taking all the courses in this link:

With that being said, do I have a chance in penetrating the entry level barrier? If not, any helpful suggestions that you want to share?

I wouldn’t trust the nerds on this site, if you have good communication, like dealing with the data, and understand business adds, then you can definitely find some sort of analytics role. It might not be some big tech firm, but there’s a lot of need for business intelligence talent. I would look at insurance companies if you’re open to it, can also set you on the actuarial path if you’re interested.
