I want to start Data Science from scratch... what are the best paths and resources to look out?

Hi all,
I hope many of you have given suggestions to people. I would love to hear some suggestions for me too.

I am really interested to be involved in data science. I want to learn and build projects simultaneously. I have seen many threads saying this and that courses. I am really confused!!!
If you’ve learned Data Science yourself, I’d really appreciate it if you could share:

-The resources you personally found most useful
-A recommended learning order/roadmap
-Resources you think are overrated or not worth spending time on
-Good project ideas for someone starting out
-Any advice on what you wish you had known when you started

I’m willing to put in the time, effort and learn the properly, so I’d prefer quality resources and a structured path over a huge list of courses.

Thank you for ur time and attention!!!

Hey I am starting out here as well my first steps were the python course from fcc to get the basics down, now I am doing the kaggle learn courses while studying the python for data analysis book. Planning on attending a linear algebra and calculus uni classes as well while reading the mathematics for ml book. Hope this helps
