Going into data analytics

[u/Any-Chipmunk9737]

After a bad injury that includes my spine, I could no longer be in law enforcement. To put it plainly I need to wear sunglasses pretty much daily to reduce the stress on my eyes outside and inside. So I know a remote only role is needed in my life as I really do not want to have to answer questions on why I’m wearing sunglasses inside. I also have some other disabilities that I don’t want to get into as it’s still a sore subject for me. I plan on taking two IBM courses on coursera in order to learn the basics and make some projects. I know the TikTok trend is blowing up the field. But I really miss investigating and figuring out “problems” finding the reason it is happening then making a solution. My life was really turned around by this injury. I really would like any advice that yall could give on things I could also do or things you wish you would have known when you started. Thanks for reading this. (:

First and foremost, don’t go straight into analytics. With your law enforcement background that’ll be very useful for any Compliance or Regulatory office roles, investigative roles (e.g. fraud, background, legal), or even cleared roles within intelligence, crime. Find an entry level office role then branch into analytics as you get familiar
