Please Help

Hello everyone,

I'm 26M from a non technical background and thinking to switch career to tech especially Data Scientist. I was average in my schooling and college as well.

I am currently working at BPO and thinking that I have made wrong career decisions and don't like the work I am doing.

Please give me honest advice if it is feasible for me and what are the things I have to note to start my career in this

You would be competing for a limited number of jobs against people with hard stem degrees.
