Data Science Degree VS Self Teaching VS Coursera/Udemy/Udacity
In this video I compare and contrast 3 different ways to getting the education needed to become a Data Scientist: Getting a masters degree, Teaching yourself, or doing a micro degree using an online platform.
Is the time and money required to get a masters degree worth it? When should you consider teaching yourself data science? Can you transition to data science with just online micro degrees from Coursera, Udemy, and Udacity?
I discuss the pros and cons of each including cost, quality, and depth of education. Watch to the end if you want my recommendations for the best path for data science education for people with and without technical backgrounds.

Hey what do gou thibk about bootcamps for someone who has a degree in engineering bac in 2007 though
A Physics or math major can pretty much start off anywhere in technology. Employers will just assume you're smart af.
Ohh damn, why did you stop making videos? This was so good and I want more of this content.
Got busy!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed them!
very Good contribution
so how far the skill gap if you become data analyst from non degree path compared to the degree path? I mean, how's the difficulty level to someone that only understand basic math (high school level math), basic coding (high school level coding), and don't know shit about business learn by themselves (through DIY or online course) to become Data Analyst and place a job?
Thank you for this video it was quite helpful for me to have a better overview on the ways of self education but it’s a huge pity that you don’t upland any videos recently 🥺.
really appreciate you for sharing your experience and thoughts!
Thank you for your very helpful breakdown of the various options. After hearing your explanation, I believe I might be in the middle. I'll make a decision accordingly.
Good one. Also could have talked about the requirements for someone in the beginning, mid or end of the career.
Am I too late to the party? I'm 35 and working in manufacturing engineering. I have committed myself to doing BSc in Data Science - Part time. However sometimes I worry that I've left it too late. Currently, I've been studying for 3yrs but still have several more to do before I earn my undergraduates.
Not too late. Continues to be heavy demand. You might have to take a step back title-wise but likely still a step up salary-wise. Make sure you understand the details of how things work and build out a personal portfolio.
@@datamike7457 I. 28 years old and I am a civil engineer, what is your advice to break down this awesome field? I started learning python on data science 365 platform.
Thank you. I think the advice was very reasonable and sound.
New subscriber! The time u spoke the first word ! Awesome job 👍👍
MOOC's are WAYYY better nowadays. The rate of change of tech is increasing every year..
Degree is just a piece of paper. DO YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL SKILLS ? WHAT IF I GIVE YOU A TASK RIGHT NOW ? WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DO THAT ? ASK YOURSELF !
#good information about
I’m an IT major and I want to get a degree in data science but my higher diploma and bachelor degree took all my money🤡 I seriously need a cheaper option but I wanna make sure I’ll be able to use it (I live in the UAE)
Unfortunately I don't know much about the data science/machine learning market in the uae.
I asked a friend who was looking for a data scientist why he listed a degree as a requirement for the job. He had no idea apart from the fact that ‘everybody else was doing it’.
If you look on indeed in the U.K. almost all data science or analysis jobs require a degree. I’m 40 have no degree and thinking if there is even a point going back to uni to do it or just do skilled online courses and hope for the best.
So there are still companies with rules against hiring engineers/ data scientists who don't have technical degrees. If you have a degree in engineering or mathematics it's much easier to find a job. If you don't have a bachelor's degree at all it's much harder. I've seen plenty of folks become data scientists with non-technical degrees, e.g. psychology, film, etc...
Any online courses do you recommend for the beginner who wants to be a data scientist? Is IBM Data Science Certificate ok or other online courses? Thanks.
Andrew ngs Coursera class on machine learning is top notch. Fast.ai is another option.
I can’t wait to start my career in data science thanks to you
Sir where to start please
Thanks, I have been searching a lot of graduation alternatives. Your tips help me ;)
Awesome Karina, good luck on your journey!
Hello sir, I did my graduation in mechanical in 2013 . I Have 6 year of career gap. From last 2 year i m working as software engineer. Now i m thinking to PG diploma in Data science from coursera. IN NEXT YEAR After completing the diploma course in data science. I am thinking to apply for master in Germany in Data science. WHAT IS THE CHANCE TO SELECT IN MASTER COURSE. Kindly suggest me some right career path. IS IT POSSIBLE to land in masters courses if i have 6 year of carrers gap along with 3 year of experience along with PG diploma courses which i m going to applied in this month. KINDLY SUGGEST ME
I really like this content. I have a BS in Physics /Minor Astronomy. Now I'm diving into some Coursera courses.
Awesome Kelso!
Would actually love the resources for mastering all necessary maths
Your story is so inspirational and interesting! Thank you so much :) I'm a 10th grader and I'm really interested in Data science, I am learning python and know a few other languages. I've done a lot of research so far, but I'm indecisive on a few things. One being whether or not I should go to a university and get a masters in data science. Or whether or not I should learn on my own using online courses and bootcamps. What's your advice?
I am in data science for 4.5 yrs, my take is that learn it yourself because there is barely anyone out there that knows more than you already do
Iam a BSc PHYSICS graduated student. To become a datascientist masters is needed.. without masters can I get a good datascientist job in top companies
I have had a windy road. I started by taking a course in Python on Udemy. That was a waste of time because there were no homework, quizzes, or projects to go with it so I learned nothing. Then theres courses on Coursera, I did a few of those and you may learn much but companies don't care how many of those you did. You need to have an impressive portfolio of front to back end projects. Now I am 5 months into the Udacity Data Science program. Its good but very time consuming. I'm hoping that when I finish I can get a job but its definitely not easy.
Hello from a year later. How are things going for you?
Can you not imagine a project/brief that you enjoy, and work on it? You’ll be alright, my friend!
@@arturocardona140 Teaching physics in a college. Maybe not making as much as a data scientist but I don't have to sit in front of a computer all day and I have great vacation time and get to work with young folk.
@@bryanchambers1964 thank you for the reply! Did you go with the teacher route because it was too difficult to land a data science job -even after completing the Udacity course - or was it more like you found your real passion with teaching and there also were some other benefits like holidays? I‘m partially also asking because I‘m also considering enrolling in the Udacity data science nanodegree - potentially before or after taking their AWS ML engineering course.
@tybaltmercutio I wasn't too far away from landing a data science position but I think I would have to learn some more data engineering and maybe some electical engineering like embedded systems first. So just keep that in mind, you probably need to know enough of what 3-4 bootcamps will cover before a company hires you. I have been teaching physics and science for the past 8 years, physics was what I chose in college so that route ended up working out for me. Just always good to put your eggs in as many baskets as possible. If you do Udacity know that you should reduce your data set so the numbers don't super long to crunch in your final project. Also I think they cut back on mentors so when I was getting stuck toward the end I usually never got a reply when I asked for help on stuff.
Pick up a highly rated program on Udemy and finish it till the end. Then you would know 50% of what software engineers need to know for day to day job. Then read a book, build few projects and apply for jobs . Once you get a job, you will learn the real shit I.e. frameworks and test driven development
Phenomenal video and insight. Thanks Mike!
Great video and very informative! Mike has done a lot of research into the pros and cons of each route into DS. Thanks Mike!
This is very inspiring! I've started to study ML too. I currently work as a Python developer in a Russian startup.
I got my first data science job a month ago. I did it completely online through Coursera, books, Codecademy, and Udacity. I studied part-time for 7 months (4 hours a day) and had no previous coding or data experience, If I did it you can too!
Great job. Congratulations Ramon
Is Udacity worth ?
@@rajsinhsolanki4419 I purchased the data science nana degree on 75% discount, and it was very very good. Personally I don't think it's worth the full price, but if you can get it on discount it's definitely worth it. You spend a lot more time implementing what you've learned with udacity compared to something like Coursera.
@@ramonsantiago4573 Ok I will buy it.
@@KT-uz4jq I got my job in the UK. At the time there were very few entry level jobs and a tone of junior/mid level positions.
Thank you so much for the advice , I am just starting out, can I get you to mentor me
Thanks a lot, really very useful
Man, you are an amazing person
Thank you soooooo much , that helped me alot
This is deece
So I have a undergrad in Buisness Admin and I'm getting my MBA this fall. I'm currently taking the Foundations of Data Science Certificate from UC Berkeley on edX and I'm seeing MIT has a micromasters certificate for Data Science as well. I'm looking to go those routes. I currently do IT work for the Army so I have a background in some technical stuff.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ve got to live your life first, my friend
Just started learning Python through Udemy and Udacity, thank you for the video!
Hey there! What courses exactly, sir?
"Degrees in data science range from expensive to extremely expensive" *laughs in European* PS. Because college is free or very cheap almost everywhere in Europe.
I have been shocked by how expensive these degrees are. They often assume people's work will pay which certainly isn't the case for many people.
Amazing analysis.....thanks
Great overview, in the end some jobs might require a masters as a minimum to apply especially as you move up in your career. That is where the investment might pay off. But if it’s purely about learning then it can definitely be done online through courses.
I've hired dozens of machine learning professionals and I've never once weighed a masters degree over actual experience.
At Amazon you need a masters to get hired as a data scientist and a bachelors for data analyst
nice talk man. may your subs grow.
Thanks John!
Ive decided to go the MOOC route. The reason is, I already have a strong technical and programming background, and my real technical passion is in another programming related field. However, I want to apply data science to that other field. So data science / AI is like a secondary passion to me. I just need to know enough about it, to apply it to my primary technical passion. I feel like PHDs and MSc in AI / data science is for people who want to really try to find brand new methods of doing AI -- such as a new type of advanced Neural Network etc. But I just want to be able to master the current methods and apply them to new domains. So i dont see what a graduate degree would be necessary for that.
Good info
This is good information. Thanks man.
Is it worth doing these degrees from India ? Where will I work ? Can I work in USA ? Insights about visa . Please do reply
I'm really not sure about india, my experience is really only with the American market.
You have to take the f1 route . Study for masters in data science. Yes you can work for 3 years easily . Which will cover your education fee and also have a good amount of savings
Hi Mike, there are people (some RUclipsrs) who suggest that software engineering makes a better study option in comparison with data science as the job market is much larger (job opportunities) and you can start earning money right away, whereas a data scientist will spend more time studying and gaining experience before making a decent amount of money and rising up to senior roles. I trust your opinion and would really appreciate it if you could comment on that. I'm also asking because I'm about to pursue a Masters degree and can't really make up my mind.
Very useful video and straight to the point. Thank you very much. Can you please upload a video on how to land your first job as a data scientist to those of us with no previous experience or similar background? Thanks again
