Answer 1

"Is Data Science a good option?"

It depends what you mean by 'good'. I always recommend looking at the jobs market for different types of tech jobs, and tech skills, to get an idea about salary and possible geographic locations where those are popular etc.

Data Science seems to be particularly suited to people who are good at maths, and coding. Statistics seems to help too. I know someone from Oxford University who did a science degree, they weren't paid much as a research scientist in academia. But they made the conversion to becoming a data scientist quite easily, and got paid a lot more. Apparently, a lot of her friends also moved into the field, as their skill set was suited, and the pay packet was a lot more than their research jobs in academia.

But the focus being just on money is unwise. I've known people who got paid a lot in tech, but hated their jobs... sometimes seriously damaging their mental and physical health, and abusing drink and drugs to cope! That's why doing something you enjoy is important, if you're lucky enough to be good at something you enjoy, and that area being financially feasible.

The other issue is that tech areas that pay extremely well, attract a lot of competition, as so many people want to go into a well paid sector. The problem is that a highly sought after sector, eventually becomes saturated... look at web design. The average web designer can no longer charge that much, as competition has pushed their salaries down... that excludes web developers at the top of the food chain.

I'd say the most important thing for you to consider, is finding an area that matches your natural raw talents and / or your passions. The best result is something you are naturally brilliant and passionate about, that pays a lot, and you love doing it!

It's difficult to give advice on your future, and indeed, I wouldn't want to tell anyone what to do.

What are you interested in?

What are your raw talents, that you are also passionate about? Follow those areas.

Answer 2

Well recommending for someone can be tricky especially when you don't know what areas in particular the person is good at. You can check what you is needed in those field check if it matches the area you are good in. I hope that helps. xD:)

Answer 4

if you want easy, web development

Answer 5

Xan I don't have much idea about the fields currently, until I get into those, can you help me out?

Answer 6

Lil_Polymath XD I too hope so, that works!!

Answer 7

Web development is a saturated market, whereas AI (and machine learning), and data science are fields that are on the up.

I'd pick any of those. Pick the one that you're most passionate and excited about... as that will drive you to success. If a particular field bores you, you won't sustain the drive to become super talented!

Answer 10

Most people who get past the front door of programming only get there because they are willing to work quite hard at it. A piece of friendly advice... Please don't go into programming for simplicity. It's not easy, that's why there are apps like this for programming and not for pumping gas or flipping burgers. If you're going to be a programmer, accept its complexity. :)
