Psychology B.A. + minor in Data Science : worth it or not?
I hate heavy math. Despise it.
I understand many liberal arts majors are becoming a bit of a waste of time ROI-wise and very difficult to get a job in. So, Ive decided I can push through the statistics-like stuff like for the data science minor.
As for the majors that I'm seeing people usually major in to work in the analytics field:
The data science major at my school is too much heavy math (Calc 1-3, Linear Algebra, etc). Oh, and business major at my school is too many remaining credit hours which would require me to not graduate on time (more money). My school does not have economics major or anything like that.
I Already have internships and projects in the area of data analytics. I am currently building my technical skills (SQL, Excel, Visualization through Tableau, Python later)
As long as I secure a strong portfolio of projects, internships, and network well -- will this major + minor combo allow me into the field of business / data / sports analytics or a similar field.
I'm hearing the major doesn't matter as much as the internships/experience, portfolio, and connections , which is what actually opens the job opportunities.
Help me out!
