How did you start in machine learning. Did you come from a top 10 school?

  No, I failed out of university and am self-taught. I spent many years deliberately underemployed working on self-study and coding up projects at the limit of my abilities. I had decided to bet on investing in myself instead of just carrying out some boss’s wishes, which would be more optimized to benefit the company than my own growth and development. Here’s a great resource if you’re starting out today: http://datasciencemasters.org http://datasciencemasters.org

    Thanks for the link! That's more or less the road I'm starting down right now, albeit with likely a bumpier past (dropped out of HS in addition to college and spent a few years doing almost nothing productive.)
