In my experience, data science is turning massive amounts of potentially unstructured data into some sort of insights for business. I guess depending on the volume and structure of the data, and the level of insight required, you may need to be more or less qualified to do the job. A bachelors degree would be fine for most of the roles I’ve seen in places I’ve worked, but I’ve never worked anywhere that had google level demands. I think getting insights out of massive amounts of unstructured data is a relatively new problem for most organisations, so that might explain the skill gap. Personally I also think the ubiquity of ORMs might also play a role, as they remove a lot of the day-to-day data handling that many engineers would otherwise have to do. But I might be completely wrong about that.
