I have been dreaming of becoming a data analyst since the day my church planned a love feast and hundreds of members promised different delicacies of food, we collated the whole raw data and as the secretary, i used my lay man excel knowledge to sort and interpret what we should expect on the D day, and my Pastor was blown away by my presentation because he asked if I have taken courses on data analytics. I am thrilled by your video, its such a huge blessing.

Great video, I saw ur video since but I just said to myself, check this video out but eventually did, your video blown my mind. I plan to go on the route of data field or something related but am trying to do some stuffs that can make my life easy on this route. Right now have learnt SQL, GitHub, just Python but not for data analysis and also am learning Linux bit by bit, your video makes me to realize I need to learn excel. The reason why am learning these things just able to switch between data field, my main goal is to become Data Engineer but Data analyst or Data Administrator will be a great start. Once again thanks for your great contents that you are dishing out. Please keep it up.
