But if data scientist is the sexiest job of the 21st century, and everyone's going to need one or more, there won't be enough PhD's to go around. Someone's going to have to "take a chance" on the lesser degreed or risk falling behind their competitors that have data scientists of some effectiveness.
- resolaibohp 8y agoThere are not as many data scientist jobs as the hype makes it seem. Maybe this will change in the future but right now there is not such a lack of qualified candidates to justify taking chances on lesser degree candidates. All this hype makes it so everyone wants to be a data scientist. You get people who change careers to go into this new hot career. You also have a pool of people who have been working with data well before the hype with experience. The people trying to break into data science will have a very hard time competing with the people with experience over the pool of jobs out there.
