DATA SCIENCE Career

 Data science is unique in the technology space in two ways. First, compared to software development, for example, data science is intangible. You can't see a flashy front end, just the results of a model. Second, it is science, which means that, unlike engineering, it is difficult to define a perfectly defined plan in advance. Uncertainty is an integral part of data science, and this can make estimates and decisions difficult. These two factors make understanding data science more challenging (KAMPAKIS, 2020). According to Godsey (2017), the origins of data science as a field of study lie somewhere between statistics and software development. Data science has three main fields that include, artificial intelligence, machine learning and statistics.
