Why You Probably Won't Become a Data Scientist
In this video I highlight the main reasons why it is unlikely that you will become a data scientist. TO BE CLEAR I still think it is possible for anyone to break into this field, but I also think it is important to set realistic expectations.

1) Educational Burden - Data science is a multidisciplinary field. You need to learn computer science, coding, and subject area knowledge. You really need to invest many hours into this endeavor.

2) Market Saturation - There is a huge supply of entry level data scientists. With more people, that means the probability of landing a data science job is lower.
3) Data Science isn't a good fit for you - It takes a lot of time and dedication to break into this field. It helps to be very passionate about the work. There are other great careers like software engineering that have a lower barrier to entry where you make similar income (if not more).
4) Ambiguity - Data science job postings are very unclear / unreliable.
5) Continued learning - You need to be adaptable in your role. It takes habits or huge motivation to keep studying.
Congratulations! If you made it this far you likely have one of the most important skills for breaking into this field.
That skill is GRIT.
