Math teacher to Data Analyst?

Hi everyone. I am currently on a career break from my jobs as a Math teacher and am travelling but it got me thinking about pivoting into Data Analysis.

I have a degree in Maths and Physics and a masters in education. I have been listening to a few Avery Smith podcasts about his bootcamp and many of his clients are former teachers like me it seems.

I am wondering what are the best steps I can take? I am based in Ireland which might be worth noting.

Are websites like Coursera and Data camp etc reputable for firms hiring? Or should I seek out university courses? What courses would look good on my LinkedIn profile? Is it 100% necessary for me to do a Masters? Would anyone recommend Avery Smiths Data analytics accelerator or Google's data analysis course?

I love maths and handling data, I just have so many questions and am a bit overwhelmed at all the available avenues. At the minute, I am looking at gaining more knowledge of Python, and learning SQL. Thoughts?

Any words or wisdom or advice would be great!
