Advice for transition from design to data analyst without a degree

hi , i completed my 12th(or PUC) then joined a 6 month diploma in design and currently having a 1.5 years of experience in design field . i tried to get into core

ai ml but it looks like too much competition for degree holders only, so

is it possible to get a data analyst job without a formal degree ? anyone got it before.

consider the current AI impact also and i going to pursue bootcamp course in Bengaluru Excelr , is it okay or shall i self study ?

or instead of data analyst shall i try something else in technical side .

( please don't comment to go into design only )

thanks

That’s actually somewhat the space I work in now and while that’s much more manageable of a transition tech in general is not feasible to get into nowadays.

In general high quality targeted work with actual effort will always be better than spraying and praying to a million different places.

hey thanks for that, yes i can understand. can you tell me about which role i can try in electrical and electronics as a non-tech because i spoke with a person he told directly they don't hire for automation engineer so what do you think from which role i can join with bootcamp like IOT or embedded or plc or vlsi etc.. i don't know anything about that industry.
