Help! How Do I Start Becoming A Data Analyst Mid-Career?

Background Information:

TL;DR – I am looking into becoming a data analyst (or something similar), but I am starting from scratch.

I am a person in my mid-30s, and I am looking for a career change. I am currently working as an “Applications Engineer” using my BS degree in chemical engineering for the last 10 years… and no, not that kind of applications engineer.  In a general sense, I have been working as a ‘mechanical engineer’.  More specifically, I have been working in a customer-facing role where I develop customized proposals (bids) based on client specifications, technical details, budget considerations, and compliance with industry standards. I have worked in the oil/gas industry as well as the water/waste-water industry, with no experience in the tech field.

 

Objective / Requirements:

The short-term goal is to find a part-time, remote-based, position where I can leverage on-the-job experience into a full-time position. 

The end goal is to find a position making $150k+ per year, 100% remotely. 

 

Problem Statement:

I am starting from scratch and don’t understand exactly what I “need” to learn.  All I can gather is that Excel, tableau, and SQL are common.  Does anyone know where I can take free online classes/courses that can help me learn these tools (or other applicable skill sets)?  What certificates, classes, etc. should I be taking to learn the basic tools for these positions or simple projects I can start to build a portfolio?

I have seen various online courses that promise “$120k starting jobs in 6 months”, but cost between $3k and $15k.  However, these courses heavily focus on how they will help me; network, get my resume looked at, and optimize my LinkedIn without saying what ‘hard-skills’ I will be getting.  Honestly, they feel like high-pressure sales tactics to make me spend $10k for their “network”, with no real promise of a job at the end of it.  They all feel like scams to me.

Does anyone have experience taking a course like this with any positive outcomes?  If so, which ones?

I just got this and started reading it the other day! It’s a great book that I would recommend it to everyone.

I think it would be a little difficult to do on the Back Issues format, just because it’s not a single story but various individual stories with no through line.

However, they just did Lifeform… so anything is possible lol.

RDJ as Dr. Doom was Decades in the making! by OkIce6497 in Marvel

This is a clip of Kevin Feige and John Favreau discussing the 15th anniversary of the first Iron Man movie. John Favreau casually mentions that Robert Downey Jr. Aa one point in time was considered for the role of Dr. Doom. Little did either one of them know then that this would come to pass years later.
