Who should go for a degree in data science?
If you have a passion for computers, math, and discovering answers through data analysis, then earning an advanced degree in data science might be your next step. All companies use data science or are in that phase of transition from legacy methods to new age tech and marketing methods using data science. Almost every top company we know, like Amazon, Flipkart, Netflix, as well as other relatively lesser known companies, use data science to connect with their consumers and market their wares. That’s how consumers get the right things in their feed or see only certain ads which are of interest to them.
Data Science helps bring the marketer and the consumer closer in terms of needs and solutions. Not only that, data is used by farmers for efficient crop growth, storage, supply and delivery; it is used by food suppliers to optimize food production, distribution and cutting down on food waste, and by NGOs to boost fundraising efforts and predict funding needs. If data science is your thing, then the following will be of interest to you.
