Thanks for the info. Thats my dilemma I guess. Leveraging free online resources can only take you so far. I guess my assumption was that I needed to get a masters and I was wondering which field made the most sense: Applied Math / Stats / CS. At this point it seems like CS would be the way to go.
- rm999 14y agoCS would give you the most bang-for-your-buck, especially a program that can let you specialize in machine learning. You may be able to leverage your software engineering positions to skip an additional degree. I've heard people argue that data scientists are software engineers with additional specialized knowledge, which I think is largely true.
