How to Become a Professional Data Scientist?
To prepare oneself to be a prospective data scientist one should make of thinking a creative process, and develop indomitable spirit.
The 20th century gave rise to many traditional and linear career paths with structured, hierarchical organizations. As a result, stress and work dissatisfaction became common traits amongst many young graduates. Depression is even more so. Desk-jobs are not inherently meant to be bad. But the idea of being confined to a desk for more than 40 hours a week for years, for a salary that does not compensate for a moderate lifestyle can be agonizing. Especially if you are pressured by debt (and in many cases, over-expectations.) And millions across the world fall into this transition every year.
Why is this a concern? Simple. Graduating from college and entering “the real world” is perhaps one of the most jarring life transitions a young adult will ever face. Being a university student for years becomes sort of the status quo. And changing from one day to another from student to job-seeker or employee is daunting for some.

The problem is… many universities fail at these tasks! At one of my lectures, we were debating what makes a great university from an average one. The answer from an Ivy League professor was simple: “Instead of getting jobs, they make them.” This is incredibly difficult and needs a lot of skills, practical knowledge, persistence, discipline, connections, funds and some luck along the way. But the first five points are things we can learn ourselves while students. Universities should promote and encourage these skills. Change is inherent to life and no one really stands still.
