Can one get this job with Bachelors degree on statistics

Hi Christian, I just came across the video. I have been looking for data scientist and data analyst job for over an year now. And i noticed that for most interviews i have with company, they asked for leetcode questions. And that is where i am suck at. Cuz i dont practice and have that many time spent doing leetcode questions like CS major stuludens had. Do you think it's a common thing to test leetcodes, and do you recommend spending time on practicing that?

How do you foresee ai interacting with data analyst and statistician jobs in the next few years

The simple fact of the matter is: There are too many people with data science/analytics/etc. degrees, and not enough jobs. DA will be quickly automated by AI. And every college on earth is pushing DA certs/bachelor's/masters/online degrees. Meanwhile, the (also unemployed) statistics bachelors/masters/PhD grads will take your job anyway and be underpaid for it. If you are reading this, this is your warning: If you haven't already, DO NOT get a bacherlors/masters/cert/PhD in data analytics, data science, "applied ML," statistics, or econometrics, unless you KNOW FOR A FACT that you have a solid network and a guarunteed job set up post grad. The above can be generalized to most degrees as well. Most specifically finance, but increasingly, many other degrees. I personal advice is start brainstorming a back up plan now. You could risk more school in an effort to become "more qualified" to beat the competition, but this also may just be a case of sunk cost fallacy. Unless you are a math genius who thinks he can do a PhD in ML, NLP, quant finance, or something else incredible like that, you are taking a large risk while making the universities rich and recieving in return a low, - if not negative - expected return. Sam altman is currently raising and paying MILLIONS to the smartest people on earth at OpenAI with mission statement of automating all middle class jobs and deliberately and permanently destroying the middle class and locking the lower class into permanent poverty while concentrating all wealth into a smaller and smaller select few who "own" the businesses.

Bc the ai does thet now lol

I have no professional experience in the field but I do have personal projects, I was able to land one interview through a connection at jetblue but eventually they passed on me because they had someone who had more experience lined up. Despite passing their technical interview, even that wasn’t enough. I haven’t had a Data analysis interview since and this was in October 2024. I am eager to learn and grow professionally within a company, I’d even take minimum wage because I value experience much more but it’s been really challenging even passing the ATS system.

Idk if this is a good video idea but could you make an video about materials you got for either college or your job. Things like your laptop, calculator, subscriptions, apps etc

It's like...What decent job is there out there that a lot of people DON'T want? Seems like there are too many people, and not enough jobs. We don't need to expand our workforce here to further undercut what we have.

In india it is a rarely known subject available only in central universities which is now recieving popularity. When I was in 1st year of my statistics degree everyone was like 😅and now when I am in my 3rd year people are like 😮

Congratulations 👏👏 man

Brother I am taking a bachelor in automation with robotics engineering, should I take another year to study statistics and data science(I will have to take to extra courses during robotics bachelor to get statistics bachelor) ir jump straight to master degree in robotics. So is a year in statistics worth it in robotics field? Or should I drop it?

I liked math in school. I’m currently a freshman at Bentley(a university in Massachusetts known for business) and my major is actuarial science. Only completed my first semester so haven’t learned much just yet. To keep my options pretty broad I basically planned what classes I want to take on top of my major courses for my next 7 semesters. It’s a mix of economics, statistics/data science, finance, and computer science. Although I’m studying to become an actuary now my back up options if I end up hating it are data scientists with a focus in machine learning engineering, or some type of risk management, or financial engineering. Don’t really know just yet. I’ve planned my 4 years so I’ll eventually learn skills like SQL, R, machine learning, NPL, VBA, etc. Maybe one day I’ll come back and update this comment and say where I end up.

Hey Christian, good advice! I can absolutely confirm what you're saying and I think that this actually applies to many more professions. I work as an ML engineer and my masters degree in data analytics definitely helped me get this job. Also all my other colleagues have master degrees. Although I think it's absolutely possible to do this job or get this job with "just" an undergrad degree, you certainly have an advantage over other applicants. I am interested in where you studied and what courses you have taken. I'm thinking of adding another master degree in applied statistics at university of strathclyde (remote) and I would love to hear your opinion on what courses they offer in that program. Thanks! :) Ps: awesome last name (Gardner is Gärtner in German, which is my last name 😂)

Can you suggest universities that offer online Msc/ PG in statistics .

Hi, I’m currently a senior in high school and I’m interested in statistics, I have a couple of questions. Math isn’t my strong suit and I sucked at it in HS, but I feel statistics would be really interesting to learn, would I be able to gain that mathematical brain in college? Also, which is better, statistics B.A or B.S?

Data analyst cons are its so easy to get into so the competition is extensive

You inspired me to choose statistics as my major. For so long I was terrified of choosing the wrong degree for me. But what you had once mentioned stuck with me: “being able to use statistics to your advantage makes you feel like a wizard” or something like that. I had found that quote pretty funny; but what I had taken away from that was, that if I could learn to think like a statistician and apply that to my life, I’d be able to accomplish anything I’d put my mind to, even if I wanted to pivot to alternative career in my life.

So you are saying there is a chance. Lmfao

Yet people wim all the time

Your telling me there’s a chance?

They say the same about masters programs.. but as time passes, the computer science masters and the data science masters are pretty much the same. Take UT Austin for example their masters of computer science and data science are nearly one and the same and it gives you choice of classes, so if I end up taking 6/10 classes at align with the data science masters, I’d still have a computer science degree but it’s only different in title…content wise computer science would have more systems courses but the data science degree would have probability/stats based for the remaining 4 classes

I think the problem a lot of people have is that, while they don't know what they want to do, they also need to major in something they are good at to meet GPA requirements. Most people don't excel or like anything that is going to make them a lot of money. If you're not good at STEM in HS, your options are serverly limited.

Is a managerial economics and a minor in computer science, just as good as a statistics major?

I clicked on this video because I remember really enjoying taking my statistics class but I hate math so I definitely would not have majored in it. I also wanted to say that I also went through a lot of different paths with finding which major was for me and I finally figured out from a starting point of political science to fisheries that I really want to be a zoology major and work in the museum that I volunteer at! All it takes is a little bit of exploring and experiencing things firsthand to actually know if you want to do it for forever!

bro i just watched for 5 seconds and i fkin like how chill you are

in which class in college would I learn how to do the data engineer role you described using SQL and such?

and yet people win it…

This is very real of you, I'm feeling this right now and it is crushing. Keep fighting!

Hey im the student of bs statistics so tell me what's the my future if i want to apply study visa to europe after my bs comleted i actually want to know that really statistics valuable degree in europe or not?

Damn. And I was about to join in tripleten for data science. Thank you for your information.

Hey man im a computer engeeniring student and i am intrested in stats.could u give me a book or a vedio through wich i can asses if i am i actully intrested or i think im intrested. Because i thought i was intrested in eng but i am not but its still my first sem so why not change it. I always did want a career in finance nd i dont hate math i just dont like physics.

Did you have any theoretical statistics courses?

congrats bro

Yo congrats on getting married!

Congooo🎉

Congratulations man!

Im a slow learner and too lazy to study would you recommend that I should pursue a degree in statistics? Edit: im just messing with you im too dumb of this

Texas caught a crazy stray LOL

Great video man truly

yo bro, this mighta been a huge wake up for me. took an intro to data science course last year as a freshman and was looking so hard to find a school that had a data science major. since that barely exists, i've been looking into other majors that sound near data science in subject, and it took me till now to realize that all data science is is statistics, just exclusively in excel. you mentioned regression models and anova tests and everything connected lmaoo. ive also been naturally good with math, so i think im gonna be pursuing that direction. your insight was a huge help bro thank you

I play and I win💵 positive manifestation

But what is the null hypothesis?

Im doing bsc hons in statistics with a minor in economics from delhi university,India. What would u recommend me to learn im in my first year

Hi bro I have sent a LinkedIn request

Perfect timing! Thiis sounds about right as I just started doing my research for my other masters degree, preferably quant-heavy and related to Data Science, as you said. Thank you for the insights! I may or may not end up in a data science degree but at least I know what to look for in a curriculum.

Hey, great video! I’m a high school senior right now and I plan on majoring in statistics in college. I’m just a little worried that my math skills aren’t the best. Do I have to be the best at math to be able to major in statistics or is that something you develop over time?

You miss 100% off the shots you don't take 🧘🏾‍♂️

My mans with the clutch take.

People don’t loose at odds, that’s the most ridiculous shit they scare u with. Instead, look at destiny. If you’re destined to win then it doesn’t FKN matter. If God says yes that’s wt he means.

More information on the self-projects please
