What Data Science Courses DON'T TEACH YOU 🤫

What's up, everyone! In today's video, I'll talk about some of the skills that online data science/ data analytics courses often don't teach you. After a few years of being in the field, I feel like there are a lot of useful skills and techniques that are often covered so briefly or completely overlooked by the recently introduced online certificates. With this video, I hope to introduce you to some of the blind spots and missing pieces that could be helpful to you in your journey of becoming a data analyst or entry-level data scientist. Hope you enjoyed this video and thank you for watching! 👋

I agree with every word you have said and I've encountered same experience with these Coursera courses. Udemy and edx courses are more reliable.

The problem is that everyone wants a shortcut to a formal education. In the alternative, they want to believe that hard work and grit will overcome gaps in knowledge. The solution: Do not rush into the job. Take your time and be methodical. Make sure you don't say to yourself "I don't really need to know that". Show respect to the industry. Be credible and do it right.

Hey there, thank you for watching! 👋Have you taken any of the Data analytics courses or certificates? What did you think about those courses? 🙂
I made a silly typo with "pratices" instead of "practices" at 0:32, I'm sorry for that 😅
