Discovering the future, in this essay, I will discuss an
important topic called data science. Data science became more popular since
2015.
I think data science is one of the future jobs and data science
will help the countries world improving the status of economic. In this essay, I will talk about what is data science, what are
the skills a data scientist needs, and why data science is one of the future
jobs.
The first time I hear about data science when I had started my a trip on learning programming. Data Science is a field that interested in studying data in the past and present to predict the future. Data Science is one of the fields of artificial intelligence
Haider defined a data scientist as " data scientist as
someone who finds solutions to problems by analyzing big or small data using
appropriate tools and then tells stories to communicate her findings to the
relevant stakeholders" (Haider, 2015, p.46).
I think a data scientist must have hard skills in math,
programming, and machine learning. Udacity reported a data scientist must have
strong skills in programming tools, data visualization and communication,
statistics, data wrangling, and Machine Learning. He should have good skills in
software engineering and Multivariate Calculus and Linear Algebra (Nelson,
2018).
There are three reasons why data science is one of the future
jobs:
- First, there are several universities around the world
have been creating bachelor and master data science programs.
For example, Michigan University offers bachelor and master of data science in another hand, it offers an online master degree which will start in September 2019. - Second, the data scientist has been named the best job in
America for three years.
In addition, IBM reported, "by 2020 the number of positions for data and analytics talent in the United States will increase by 364,000 events, to 2,720,000". The global demand is even higher "(Ahuja, 2018, para.). As such the New York Times reported: "the base salary for data scientists as $ 112 000" (Haider, 2015, p.39). - Third, every business today need to data science team to improve their business. For example, Facebook, Amazon, and Netflix use recommended system technology to improve their business.
