Do you need a Master's degree or a PhD to do DATA SCIENCE. FIND OUT HERE. 

Thank you Mr.Klein for always emphasizing on the importance of projects and experience rather than papers and certifications.

Great video! I opted for a Masters in computer science with a concentration in ML / AI over a Masters in data science. From my experience, this degree holds slightly more weight in industry. I had to learn many concepts unrelated to data science, but I have been able to leverage many of these skills in my personal projects. Nothing against Masters in DS programs, but I think that this path is also a very viable route!

I would like to share my experience, I am an ungrad in computer science and have immense interest in data science , when I was in my third year of uni I started slogging all soughts of concepts of machine learning and data science which was really fruitful for me.Done certain research work even and landed a job as a data scientist.One thing I learned in my struggle days was that the more force u put to learn something more amazing will be the output.Love learning guys This man has always been a inspiration for me.

I just wanna learn to predict your cameras dispositions, that's all.

You cannot get a Data Analyst or Data Scientist jobs if you don’t graduate at the famous schools/universities with a bachelor degree. Otherwise, they require minimum 3-5 years experience, or at least have Master or Ph.D.

when Im down, I watch your videos and i feel inspired to continue... thanks

Congratulations reaching the 100k subscribers! Greetings from Mexico ! 🌮🌮🌮

YES. PhD or Masters degree level knowledge.

I was wondering what kind of data science project is enough for entry level position

I got an offer to study BSc Data Science at University of Warwick!

Out of curiosity, what sort of educational background does the Python Programmer have?

Your camera tricks are awesome..love from India

Sir, *I have completed my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering.* Now I'm aiming towards becoming a successful data scientist with the right qualifications. I think I'm a good programmer but I lack in mathematical part of data science, so *Is it viable to do **M.Sc** in Statistics?*

Where do you live? The surroundings are alluring to say the least.

An Msc in Statistics is more than plenty

This guy gives me a hope of stepping into this field without a masters and PhD. I have seen other software developers on RU-vid who emphasize that jobs are scarce in data science and without a degree and experience in this field, chances are slim. So, they push you to learn web stack development side of things to get quickly employed than putting your effort into this field.

bachelor is ok for employment

It was a rainy day for Data Science, but you shed some light on us, Thanks!

Here is my background: I have a masters in exercise science, not a very useful degree unless I go for a doctorate in some related field which I am not interested in doing. I have no background in business, marketing, or computer science for that matter, but I enjoy mathematics and statistics and learning to code. My job experience is weak to say the least; overnight crew at a grocery store, salesfloor team member at Target, personal trainer at 24 hour fitness, and a physical therapy aid at a local clinic since graduating with my masters. Essentially, I have been making minimum or near minimum wage since graduation. My question is: Since I have no technical background and essentially no job experience related to data science, would investing upwards of 60k for a masters in data science give me any sort of edge versus if I tried to learn everything on my own? I understand doing capstone projects and uploading them to GitHub is helpful, but I would also be doing this as part of a curriculum and getting credentials for it. I feel like the degree would give me more credibility and the skills to work on more projects. I ask this because I am already near 100k in debt from my exercise science degree but jobs are very limited, and I enjoy coding and working with numbers much more so than working at a clinic or at gym trying to sell training packages.

Intro edit must of been done by the same person who edit liam neeson jumping over a fence in one of the taken movies

could we stop music i can't focus

Very informative video sir! Thank you!

Just in time!!!! I was thinking about getting a MsC abroad next year but I was wondering if that was a good idea. Question: can you do this job part-time? And is it a good option?

Thanks for information about data science courses in Coursera. I am going to learn it.

If you actually want to be employed as a data scientist than you need a PHD or Masters. Being competent is irrelevant.

Great explanation. However, I would refrain from constantly changing locations while talking about this, it gets annoying after a while and doesn't feel consistent.

Hey Giles. Very informative video. I recently talked to a college about an MSc in Data Science, they said they teach R in their semesters but expect you to do your dissertation in Python (they also said "you can always submit your papers in Python but we teach R"). Does that make any sense? Wouldn't it be confusing for someone who has already been studying Python on his own, like me? Also, what do you think of Tableau?

I'm learning python right now. Can I apply for jobs as a data analyst once I am comfortable using python?

Love your contents! very well said. I always look forward to your videos. A kind suggestion, can you please not add music in the background while you talk? It's very distracting. Being hard-of-hearing, it's like listening to two things at once. It's hard to focus on what you are saying. Thanks!

I am an undergraduate student doing my engineering in electronics and communication department. Do you think I can shift my career path to become a data scientist? How?

this transitions are so fucking annoying, I mean, I apreciate the info but that is all I'm watching this for, meanwhile I need to wait until you come into frame or pull your bag from a car mid sentence for you to continue talking, respect our time sir

Top notch transitions in this episode. I particularly enjoyed the brolly transition :)

I can't decide which is more beautiful between the two : your country or the video content ??

It felt like you made that video specially for me. Thank you very much for this video.

*Sir i have a Question:* tensor flow 2.0 is here, so do i need to master tensor 1 to understand 2.0 And there's a new edition available for O'Really hands on machine learning with sklearn keras and tensorflow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 if u are interested in reviewing.

It really upsets me that a piece of papear determined your worth and not actual projects you have completed

This is not just an average guidance for career, you are a mentor of life, thank you so much.

can I get full scholarship in data science? how and where

Background music is frustrating 🙂

Explain as rapper or turn off the music

Wow man, great info! You just earned a new sub!

Thank You sir.. Can you Plz make us a video on how to manage a Ph.D i am in my third year and really lost cant even organize tasks ect.. SOS !

Also I would like to add as well. What else should I focus on studying besides Python? Is it really necessary to learn Power-Bi or Tableau? Doesn't PYTHON come with a visualization Application? I noticed a lot of Certificate courses offer training in either Power-Bi or Tableau. Are these visualizations applications really necessary? thank you for reading.

Excellent video! What if you already have a BSc, MSc and PhD in non-quantitative (biological sciences) subjects? Is the self-taught + portfolio/projects route enough?

Great content as always and extremely relevant. Please make a video on how older professionals can get into this field. I am a meteorologist working with the govt. Developed love for data science while working with weather data and so want to get into this field full time.

Hoho, dudde, i hardly understand what you saying, english is not my language, but OMG your's Town is beateauful!

why do you fake your accent?

I’ll like videos content and the way u introduce that content to audience

No you don’t need a PhD or an MSc but you do need to speak like this guy and enunciate to an almost over the top level so it sounds like you taught at Cambridge University. That is a door opener.

Very concise and insightful analysis, thank you! Highly creative video, too!

Why do all videos on RU-vid insist on having crappy background music? It's just annoying when I'm just trying to hear and understand what you're saying. if I want to listen to music, I'll go to the Naxos music library with 100 of thousands of CDs available to stream. Now that my rant's over, thanks for the advice.

Of course not since you pretty much need to be a data scientist to start pursuing a PhD... Python is just one handy tool

Awesome bro! thanks for the help.......

Please keep re-iterating about this (masters or PhD) because we are getting shitty developed degrees and shitty 12 week courses and we need to inform people constantly not to fall in those traps. This segment is going to be awfully useful no matter if you keep repeating this because in the past year there is a lot of courses and a lot of them that trying to rob your money and time. Please lets make this a regular, i am more happy to talk about it one on one if you like.

Exactly what people need to hear. You dont need a phd if you are not going to do state of the art stuff. If your undergrad course is somehow lacking something, a masters will help you so much.

Nope

Thank you so much for the information!! It was super helpful and loved the creativity in your video which isn’t just sitting in a room and talking!

Thanks for your great support sir , HUGE LOVE AND RESPECT FROM INDIA

Hey I'm doing an undergrad in Data Science. Do you recommend getting a Masters?

Is a research masters (MPhil) in Statistics or Econometrics good preparation for becoming a data scientist/analyst? Are there subfields within statistics or econometrics that are particularly relevant to data analysis? (Monte-carlo methods or time series analysis?)

i have a major in Psychology and really want to transition to Data Science.. what do you recommend to help get noticed with employers, once i learnd all the theory and have real projects to show?

Great video format! It makes watching a 7 minute video very easy.

If you are self taught you have to be comitted. That's it.

How about good gpa?

Can I ask which part of England is this?

Dude, awesome video and absolutely spectacular green landscape in a very depressing UK skyline that is ALWAYS gray and liquid sunshine-y. Thanks for sharing your perspectives!

how about bachelors degree in DS

Very comprehensive and thoughtful. Thanks!

hello sir,have been following for quite a long time,i hv motivated myself to learn Data science and currently following your links from coursera and udemy but still i have some 'if and buts" going in my mind. i hv done btech in civil engineering but did android programming for last two years using java. I have basic concepts cleared in linear algebra,numerical analysis,differential calculus...and learning machine learning algorithms by myself, the only question is will self learning in this scenerio and with my profile as i mentioned, land me in a data analyst job? your response will much be appreciated :)

If you want paid more. Get a masters.

Great advises. Thank you very much

This is a great flowing and well structured video. Extremely detail and effective information. Well done!

The term scientist is often a stretch for what most people actually do in their daily job.

Very charismatic ! Do you think it is possible to be a programmer as a hobby? Different plans for my master

Thank you...your videos are great motivation.

80 percent of companies demands master or phd degree

Your audio quality is superb

It's awesome place. Where do you live and which place is that (showed in the video)??

Thanks for your insight

im doin my masters in bioprocess engineering by research now.. and im doin some kind of simulation using ANN with Python.. the more i learn ANN with Python, the more i think i wana to shift to a data science job

the 1st person that's telling you will need sql !!! thx if it is that way

Hey Python Programmer! I'm currently doing my bachelors in statistics & actuarial science. I've been picking up some python skills (learning the necessary libraries: pandas, numpy, scikit learn, etc). I plan on also learning SQL in the coming months with hopes to land a data science internship next summer. How possible is it for me to land a job right in the field of data science, rather than data analytics? Here in America, data scientists are compensated far more than analysts, and I would really prefer this. Also, outside of using machine learning techniques in their careers, what more does a data scientist do over a data analyst? Thanks so much for your informative and inspiring videos. You have no idea how much you've helped me in this field❤.

Well, the fact is so many companies looking for PhD (min Master) to be a data scientist. Do they still believe papers over result? I Dunno

3:18 that is such a beautiful place would love to go hiking there

Just found RU-vid useful after watching your videos

I am Bsc IT graduate of 2019, currently I am doing a Data science course from an institute..I want to become a data scientist, will I need a Master's ?

Thanks for this video! I'm glad to know that I'm on the right path.

Thank you! amazing as always

Your videos are great sir, hello from Ireland!

Great content, thank you for that. You should consider REMOVING THE background MUSIC from your videos. They are not serving any purpose, adding to the quality - it's just a distraction. Please consider. Thanks and regards from NYC, the DS epicenter! ;)

I'm just about to start a Masters in Operational Research this autumn, after a not-so-successful Mechanical Engineering Bachelor. What is your knowledge on Operational Research jobs and how much they would differ from a Data Analyst job? Thanks.

What an amazing channel. Congrats!

Difficulte to obtain just a master's professor's push for PHD.

Thanks for this great content, I love the place where you recorded it! Where is it?

4:44 what a splendid transition

Thank you so much Mr Klein, this is the video I needed, I thought that this would be the case, I am glad now that I am certain what is necessary

Thank you man! Great tips!!

I am sort of coming from the other direction. My work is transitioning me to a data analytics position from an operations background. This first year I am mostly developing data analytics skills in excel, with some soft use of SAS and SQL. I was hoping to leverage the opportunity to grow into a more data science-oriented position, not research-oriented, but more business predictive and analysis oriented. I was afraid that there was a hard line between analytics and data science, but at the end of this video, you even mention that as the typical career development. So, am I in a good spot to put the time in developing skills on my own as I learn on the job and work my way up?

Short answer, NO! )

I've seen a lot of channels that produce low-effort basic-tier content primarily targeting beginners and that's what I thought this channel was going to be, but I'm cautiously optimistic about this channel after watching this first video. I think you handled the nuance inherent in this topic very well, especially given how charged it has become lately, and I genuinely hope you continue to effectively communicate the intricacies of data science without watering it down or trivializing it.
