Q&A | my data science journey, first internship, non-profit work

Hi Friends,
I finally found time this week to sit down and answer some of your questions from my previous "Work Week in My Life" video. I am still in shock by how much love and comments that video received. Although I love data science and could talk about it for hours, I want to share different passions with y'all on this channel. I will continue to make more vlog content so you can get a glimpse of my work life but I don't see myself going in-depth into the specifics of what I do at work or teach any data science content. Thank you so so much for all the love and support and I hope you enjoy the video :)
xx,
Jules

it was nice knowing you! I wish I had this encouragement of asking some teacher or professor to assist them in some way but I ended college right now, guess I wasn't very sure what path I should take, an arch student here :) but right now is a little bit clearer and hope I find my way and finally found a field which I love

[@margaridamendonca6273]

Ooh, thank you so much for sharing! I'm a comp sci undergraduate who doesn't really like Data Structures and such, which makes me feel like an impostor a lot. It's good to know I'm not alone and can still be successful in this area!

[@strategy_gal]

Love your persistency in getting into data science. I agree that you don't really need a Master's degree to get into DS but it's nice to have. Kudos in making it through and really getting what you want after college. :)

[@marylmartin671]

Im watching all your old videos ur so inspiring and love learning about ur life

Hi Julia!! This video was so inspiring; from your data science journey to your passion for Send Chinatown Love!! Thank you so much for sharing as always, and I hope you get to take a break soon!!

Love your videos by the way; I've been playing them like a podcast while I work from home. Take care!

[@simmeronice]

As a data science major with marketing minor, it's so cool to see someone in my field!

[@harryphied9755]

Hey Good going, Kudos. Outside videos work like charm, keep doing it.

[@juliafei]

Thank you! Yes hopefully there will be more when the weather gets nicer 😊

[@izzabaloch803]

Omg i’m doing a major in data science and minor in economics you’re the first person who is doing something similar to me. Will you please let me know how Economics related to Data science at work?

[@nycto16]

Bcz Economics is all about data and research. Even econ degree produces better and high rate of data scientists than comp sci.

[@mschell350]

What should I do if im looking into a career in data science if I have a BA in psych. Should I get a masters?

[@khadijaelmoqnia912]

Can I ask you why you didn't like software engineering? And chose data science because I have to chose and I don't know how to

[@muhamadahmadin5526]

I really enjoyed your videos miss :) , btw, i love indomie wkwk

[@agatha004]

Hii, im in my first year studying BIA, which is more or less data science + economy, and the thing that I strugle the most with is feeling like I'm lost. I also want to be an expertise, but I don't know how I can do that, I just feel like a random student. How can I sort of 'elevate' my data science knowledge???

[@abdibrokhim]

how did you get into spotify?

[@Diminishstudioz]

I like the jazz music you use in your vdos.

[@juliafei]

Hehe thank you🎶

[@Swordyfiish]

I’m doing the MITx Data Science micromasters right now and I think that would be a good option if you don’t want to commit to a full on degree just yet! My overall goal is to do the Harvard Extension masters in data science and the MM counts as 3 classes for it :)

[@MLCodest]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I looked into it and it seems like a great option :)

[@Swordyfiish]

@@MLCodest let me know if you end up doing the micro masters! We have a discord community to discuss hw and the like :D

Woah! Super cool option, thanks for sharing I will def look into it

[@morningstar4502]

Hi, lovely video I have a question though, I am an Economics student at the university and I'm hoping to get into data science, Can you please give me some pointers to how I might start, I am thinking of a masters program in data science, but I'd like your advice. Thanks :)

[@akissy254]

Same for me

[@33.thariqkemalhassan59]

noo you don't need to sorry, maybe you found the right atmophere to openly talks about what you're thinking. i'm interested in data sciences too but right now i keep struggling with my courses. guess i need more effort on this thing :D but i'm thinking to be an ios dev too :') and now i'm in my sophomore year, soo... yeah :'D it's tiring yet confusing haha

[@krisuler7734]

Bravo to you gurl!! This is SO refreshing to see lol it gives me faith back in this current generation. Unfortunately, nobody values school or actual hard work and discipline anymore, especially within GenZ, so the fact that folks like you still exist is wonderful! Keep it up and stay focused 💕💕🌻

[@voodooblue6162]

My major is accounting. How do I work as a data scientist? Should I switch my program to computer science?

[@pixxiefoxs3882]

Computer science or statistic degree

[@carop1273]

I’m studying data science. I’m in my first year and it’s little difficult to me because I don’t know anything about programming do you know a book that can help me with that?? I’m programming in c++ . By the way you motivate me to continue studying I wanna work in something similar to you 😉

[@Omer698]

python is what you should be using for datascience not C++

[@carop1273]

I’m currently on my 6th semester and now I know how to use python and R. I think python is the most important and even learn about the mathematics behind the machine learning models 😊

[@janwarner3475]

Don't put getting your Masters off. The longer you wait the harder it becomes until does not happen at all. Some jobs require supervisor positions to have a Master's. No matter what you will feel better about yourself with a Masters. That is my old person's wise advice to you. Some jobs will pay your all/partial education cost if maintain B average.
