Description

It's the first podcast of 2022! So this week it's a little different on Would You Data Scientist, Wendy is joined by Emily Dale, Analytics Professor at Rockhurst University. Find out how fulfilling and engaging working on the other side of education is, as well as what other data roles you could do that don't have the title of data scientist.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Emily was only studying data science for two classes before she got her first job in data science. The course went so fast and you had to keep up. You don't have to do a full degree, study what you need to.
• While working in telecommunications, Emily used data to figure out that people in the US who don't often travel far from their home are more likely to switch cell plans after traveling just once.
• If you like data science then you don't have to have a data science position. Look past the job title, employers are looking for business intelligence developers, data engineers, and managers who are able to speak analytics. Go with what you enjoy.
• We need more diversity in teaching to get more diversity in students, which will lead to more diversity in job applicants.
