Can YOU Become a Data Scientist or MLE?

I see the same comments on almost every video I make. They're from people who dream of becoming Machine Learning Engineers or Data Scientists, but doubts are holding them back:

“I never studied computer science.”

“My math skills aren't great.”

“I don't have a Master's degree.”

If you've ever had these doubts, my new video is for you. Or, you can check out a written version here (this link bypasses the paywall!).

We’re breaking down all the common concerns I hear and to what degree they are (or are not) blockers, and what to do about it.

The Skills You Need for ML

In case you missed it, last week I released a video on the skills you need to get an ML job in 2025.

As a TL;DR, the top skills are:

Oh also, I did a livestreamed AMA last week. Here’s the VOD, in case you want to check it out!

An Opportunity to Help: GiveInternet

Almost 3 billion people have never logged onto the internet. They’ve never taken advantage of Google, YouTube or the AI tools we use today. They’ve missed out on education, online jobs, conversations, and equal opportunities — and we’ve missed out on their potential.

Before the internet, a person's future was determined by the physical environment they were born into. Today, internet access means access to global knowledge and equal opportunities. At GiveInternet.org, you can sponsor internet fees and laptops for students from some of the world’s most underserved communities.

Their local partners provide skills development programs like coding, design, healthcare, and entrepreneurship — the only things the students lack are internet connection and a laptop. Once connected, most of the students either find a job, freelance, or start their own businesses.

Every donation made through https://giveinternet.org/GratitudeDriven will be matched by one of their donors. You can read the story of every student on the platform GiveInternet.org, view every penny spent, and receive monthly updates showing you who you helped and how you changed their lives.

Thank you for your support <3
