Can't wait to listen what he's going to say. I have a degree (Bsc Applied Math & Statistics) and I'm also doing some online courses on sololearn (Python and SQL) I hope to find a job either Data Sciensist | Data Engineer | Data Analyst .

This was an important video..i recently learnt the importance of Continuous Professional Development (CPD)..you have to keep a log file, and a traceable record of anything that you do that adds to your development in your profession. You can create your own website to file all those activities. There are other CPD site where you can open a CPD PORTAL and post and file every activity you do..like ICAEW, myCPD UK, CPD Australia. various professional boards have a CPD facilities e.g for Quantity Surveyors you can file on RICS CPD, ASAQS CPD,

I also have an honors degree in Geology and I am keen on venturing into data science /gis because Geology is limiting😢 I'm doing my MSc now because I couldn't find a job and unfortunately I know a few people that I graduated with 4 years ago for honors who are still jobless. It's sad because the degree itself is hard, and we learn so many technical skills that can be applied in various industries. But most of the industries except mining don't really recognize it. So if you don't get a job in the mines you are lowkey doomed.
