I did 4 years of statistics for my bachelor. You'll need mostly R for it, just don't be completely retarded and you'll be fine. Graduating with just the skills you have from undergrad is enough for a junior level data analyst position.
(During these years you can do the statistical analysis for other peoples' projects if they pay you. The money is good if they're undergrad doctors etc. >500 )

For the data sci part you'll most likely need:
R, Python, SQL, obviously excel, hadoop/spark, keras or pytorch and
solid linear algebra skills

my experience: graduated as an engineer and worked at a factory. hated it initially and wanted to go into psychiatry as well (the philosophical aspects of it are extremely fascinating: we are proscribing pills that arguably changes someone's *self*, how do the pills work, what does it mean to be mentally ill, is it all biological driven, etc etc). So I did the following

a) read a bunch of books on psychiatry and philosophy of psychiatry
b) e-mailed some of the authors
c) volunteered at a psych / mental health ward for a couple months

What I learned: (1) Psychiatry is currently bunk. We DON'T CASUALLY UNDERSTAND how the drugs work, instead we infer via statistics that the drugs do XYZ on people with ABC illness. It's black magic, and when I pushed some of these psychiatrists, they agreed with me (2) Psychiatrists pretty much just do med management. Hospital "techs" and social workers are the ones that talk with the patient, see how they're doing, write reports on the patient for the psychiatrist to go over, etc etc. It's all very clinical and technical and bureaucratic. Any idealism you have about the field will be crushed to a pulp. Imagine living in a Kafka novel.

From a professional psychiatrist I spoke with on whether I should join the field

>I hope you make your decision soundly. From a philosophical perspective, in my view, psychiatry’s philosophy is not what you think; it’s a good deal worse. But that doesn’t mean it will always be this way. The question is whether it’s worth your while, and just as importantly, whether you can make it any better.

good luck anon. you'd be taking a MAJOR STEP. prereqs, med school. The time and money spent is insane. I'm sure you could do it, but just think on it.

Honestly, not a bad idea. If you're in any way competent at solving leetcode challenges then you'll be able to get a job somewhere. You're not going to get paid tonnes and it's not going to be some fortune 500 company but you'll easily get a job. More and more companies are looking for problem solvers rather than "coders" these days because there's far more jobs than there are people. I work in infrastructure support (devops basically) and literally every job I've got has been from not being a huge autismo and showing that I have good communication skills, ability to learn on the job and solve problems on my own. I work with people who fundamentally have better backgrounds than me but when shit hits the fan they panic or if they ever have to think for themselves to solve a problem they're totally lost meanwhile when my boss comes to me I literally tell him "I have no fucking idea what's going on but we'll figure it out and get it resolved".

math is actually a pretty broad field, most mathematicians just try to work on unsolved abstract problems. For example, a paper I recently wrote was concerned with finding the topological properties of subsum sets.

My gf (well now we are engaged) did med school over season, is in her first year or residency.

The pay is about 55k a year on average. It's ALOT of work to get a good MCAT score, finish med school, get amazing scores on board exams etc. Not to mention the debt.

The scariest part is getting into residency. There are limited spots and every year you don't match it gets statistically harder. Look up the match/soap threads in reddit the past few years on the med school sub, it's depressing.

Don't do it for the money, because even with 215k starting salary of a physician who finished residency, if your med school debt is 200k, it could take 10 years to pay back. You won't want to live frugally until you start residency, so (living at home and paying off loans in 2 years) might not be feasible.

Word, thank you for the insights. I’m not necessarily doing it for the money, I find analytical psychology and psychiatry and the mind in general to be the most fascinating aspect of life. So to get into a career path associated with such would be awesome. But good money is nice.

I’m most worried about studying for and scoring well on the MCAT. I was historically a lazy student but also I’ve matured a lot since my undergrad. Residency doesn’t frighten me as much to be honest since I fortunately have the advantage of nepotism through friends and family which I would for sure leverage.

I’d also be fortunate enough to live at home and commute to NYC if I got accepted into a med school there.

But still, the debt, the time, and the coursework are daunting. I’ll take some time to think about it, no reason to rush into anything. I might start by volunteering/shadowing a friend at the hospital to see if it’s a lifestyle I’d actually enjoy and I’m not just romanticizing it.

I'm now balls-deep in CS with two semesters left. Kinda hate it too, since it feels like I'm slaving way my mind. And yet, I was pretty comfy taking care of gen eds, electives, and not-so-brain intensive CS classes. On my third year, Computer Science I definitely made me question my major too but I lucked out with a tutor.
I like this anon's idea >>30074396

>any cybersecurity professionals here?
done it all anon, security operations engineer, SIEM eng, cyber incident response, security consulting. my advice is to start in some sort of IT support/generalist role at a large corporation while you study security certs and learn about corporate network/systems structures. a lot of people try and enter straight into it from nothing but those guys are never as good and basically stay as an analyst their whole time (suicide material)

Coding is cool and then you get to loop invariants and data structures and want to blow your brains out even if it comes naturally

That's just my take on the subject. I believe the chans, reddit, stocktwits etc. are all goldmines, even twatter. The problem imo lies in binarizing whatever the sentiment alanysis NNs shit out with "bullishness" and "bearishness".

Now that I'm done with my thesis I'm unironically going to make a wojak index. If it's successful I'll spam it here for you fags, screenshot this.

my parents gave me an option when they found out im rejected: either get a job that uses my degree and is high paying enough that I won't be a dissapointment or get out. I can't lose my housing since I have no real savings besides some crypto. Thus I somehow need to find a job in coding since it actually pays well. Fucking hell man I was so looking forward to going to grad school. I even started studying in advance for it so I'd be prepared. Maybe i should unironically an hero, it feels like theres no fucking meaning anymore.

>used sklearn to cluster the pixels based on color, and generate a color distribution diagram. The clustering is trained on a combination between the webpage and a sample of wojak pictures to ensure the pink wojak color has its own cluster.

Obviously I'm talking about something more sophisticated here friend.

I also was keen to see how interest in a coin affects it. Sort of roping in Google search interests. As well as specific sources like whalealerts. And absolutely keeping a bot watching Musk’s tweets to buy whatever he talks about. My belief is that there is a way to attach a weight to the opinions of certain influential individuals. For instance, a crypto influencer has high influence but below that of a celebrity. Certain demographics and criteria should affect the weight. Somewhere along the line I believe we’re working with weighted graphs again.

Don't fall for the dunning kruger memes friend. Go out there and try your best, you'll find that the people you consider "pros" are usually just slightly more confident in what they're talking about.
Not to mention that with a math major you're likely much further ahead than the rest, I got my bachelors in stats.

Cheers. Before this thread dies just wanna say thanks for the encouragement. Good luck anon, and I’ll post my index if it ever makes it out here. Who knows, maybe we’ll meet again on this board. Small world. Good night.

I bought 2,000 grt at $0.53 and another 2,000 at $1.93. I've lost a few thousand. Not even sweating it. I wanted to die before I invested all my money in crypto and stocks. Nothing has changed. Not planning to sell at a loss, but it doesn't matter if I did anyway. I'll never be happy. Only 21 btw.
