To everyone that feels like giving up, just remember you started this course for a reason, and that reason has made you come all the way here. If you still feel the same about that reason, then it is no use giving up now, or later, or at all for all that matters.

[@rabiamansoor7832]

Three main take outs from the talk, in my opinion; 1. Data analyst need to have good people skills and should always be listener. => when she talks about how she transitioned from talker to listener in her career and how it impacted her work 2. The path is long and winding with ups and down so you need to be consistent => her journey from math major to analyst to a parent to a student she was consistent in pursuance of her passion 3. The power of storytelling is critical to understand patterns and gain insights from it =>how data analyst is as much as arts as it is a science

[@saalpaaraadiisee]

I'm here from the Google Data Analytics course as most of the people here. Hello everyone! I truly understood what Anna refers with that rift between the educational practice and the academic research. I got into this course precisely because I am a social scientist and, besides some freelance projectd, most of my professional experience comes out from the academia. I also think data analysis could be a bridge to overcome that rift she is talking about. It is a way that we as social scientist can adapt to the contemporary world in the so called era of dataism. As we saw in the last part of the course, dealing with fairness issues, social science provides great insights to set data into context. The theoretical and the applied can merge through data science in such an interesting ways...

[@muhammadfarhan4438]

@saalpaaraadiisee Hello. Its great to know you are a Social Scientist. I am also kind of torn between Social Science & Tech. and trying to somehow bridge the gap between the two.

"Data analysis is as much an art as it is a science," I absolutely conquer with you. This reminds of when I was doing an undergrad project, I had to collect the data, spend a lot of time analyzing it and ensuring that the work I was doing was insightful and worth it, for sure i enjoyed the entire process and in the end everything turned out to be exceptional. Your talk has rekindled this analytical desire and as i reminisce how the process was, I'm more and more attracted to this career. Thank you for such an inspiration and to the comments in this chat. Currently I'm learning Google data analytics certification course in Coursera, and I'm really enjoying the course. Thank you Anna Leach, Google and TED.

It's my second time of watching this video, first was when I was trying to watch any Data Analysis material that appeals to me, 2nd is week 5. It makes more sense to me today compared to the first day. Yes, I believe that understanding the problem to be solved is very important. I personally think that understanding the problem will help a Data Analyst identify the solution quicker. Thank you for sharing your experience Anna Leach

“Data analysis is as much an art as it is a science”. I really commend Anna’s storytelling skills, loved every bit of this. This whole video reaffirmed what we have been taught for 5 weeks in Coursera. Collection of data, how data is people I.e Communication, and even fairness in data.

Hey, I tried to apply and make the payment but it's not getting through. While making the payment, it says that "your card does not support recurring payments"! How to resolve this. PS: I'm from India!

[@ishirn3917]

@@Kavitaon_ki_Lunchbox I had the same problem in that case just take the financial aid for all the courses and wait for 15 days.

Going through the comment section makes me see that they're really people out there chasing their dream to be who they want to be and give what it takes to be an analyst. It gives me the courage to not give up and also makes me realize that i am not alone. Cheers to everyone that made it to the fifth week. Thank you google.
