Is studying machine learning / data science a meme?Should I just study regular (applied) computer science?I wanted to study computer science but the major got full before I could sign in, now I'm stuck with data science engineering unless I change majors in the future (when people inevitably drop out of CS)... What do
>>100132096it's a meme don't go there its mainly maths. Not even actual machine learning.ma..ma..machine learning is just a marketing termif x increases y increase done.
>>100132096If you want a job, learn by doing projects, not studying the theory
If you want to learn machine learning study math
>>100132559but does the degree not matter then? or do I choose the one with the most projects and less theory?>>100132642already fell for that meme, I'm starting over in a new degree. I'm not in the US so there's no debt, university is free
>>100132913I make 120k per year now aud, going from minimum wage, and I did that by building a rep online making stuff. I didn't know to build a git repo 2 years ago, and clients found me from memes I made and uploaded onto YT.Tbf, I'm 30, so if you're young, maybe getting a degree and doing side projects if you can afford to do that is the better idea.I pivoted from LLMs to AITTS, STS and sound engineering.Only saying this because I see tons of people study and not get the career they want, whereas somehow I got what I wanted, but did it by doing a bunch of shit for my own enjoyment that others weren't doing as well.
