Is data science for me will I be able to excel in it

Question

I've never worked as an analyst before and I'm not sure if i'll excel in it. Will I be able to learn and understand data analytics?

Answer 1

Honestly I believe in skills over talent or luck. Nobody is born with talents, they build it over a period of time. Let me give you an example, when you're playing a game do you just try your luck or calculate all the possibilities and analyze the risk?

If you're a person who analyzes the risk and considers all probabilities, you'll love studying this subject and you'll love your job as an analyst.

Answer 2

You'll do amazing if you have the following skills:

1. Critical thinking
2. A little bit of coding
3. Math
4. A little bit of AI
5. Communication
6. Data architechture
7. Analysis skills​
