    Liked the analogy about cooking. If you are not putting the extra time to become the best version of yourself, the field you work in doesn’t really matter. It is really important to choose a career you think you will be able to constantly improve yourself in. Thus, you need to LOVE your field/job.

A job is a job, you're gonna have to work and learn regardless of whether you like doing it or not. You can succeed in any career you could want to as long as you put the work in

    All of these reasons are why I want to become an analyst. I've spent a lot of time realizing what I want to do ever since I switched from pre-med to data analytics/science last summer. I have been self-learning and teaching myself all throughout my new college classes too.

    So the reasons are:
    -Not interested in tech
    -Not a self learner
    -Don’t have patience
    -Not a good at communicating
    If you don’t have any interest in tech, you can’t talk to people, you can’t learn on your own, and and you have no patience then my friend you can’t succeed in any line of work. In short, this video was a nothing-burger. An absolute garbage take, which had nothing to do with the job itself.

    How much statistics courses do you recommend or what type of math is used for this industry? Also, what type of programming concepts are applicable to this job?

    • @justinshin

      There’s actually not to much math involved or statistics unless you’re venturing into data science. For data analytics it’s more so gathering requirements and learning how to transform and load data into a data visualization too using sql!
