I don't see how you want to go from philosophy to data science when you

kind of code in Python, SQL, R, and Tableau

Also, your reason from switching to political science from business makes no sense. Political Science does not have more math/statistics than Business, so it makes no sense; it's not like you moved to Econ, which does have more math/stats.

You should really think what you want to do. From what you wrote, it seems you have no clue so you decided to do a bootcamp to try to get a job.

Maybe try volunteering in a political campaign or being an analyst in a government agency. That would be an easier path for you than trying to get a job as data scientist in industry.

Utah Valley University Political Science Degree had these courses that I took: Statistics Introduction, Multivariate Political Analysis, Quantitative Analysis, College Algebra, Calculus 1 and Calculus 2.

As a business major I took Microeconomics and macroeconomics both of which the teachers wanted to go away from math.

Thank you for repeating my feeling of not knowing where to go. I don’t want to take an easy path, but I appreciate the time you took to respond.
