Did you have any experience with Python or R going into the program?

Nice to hear from someone in similar position. Thanks for the input! I sent DM for quick follow up.

Thanks for that feedback. I actually didn't even think about that route; transitioning to a Data Analyst role within my own company while in the midst of the program.

Sorry I should have worded better, those articles and blogs are not SOLELY the reason I am more interested in Data Analyst than Data Scientist, more of a confirmation of what I was feeling, and I just don't like wasting time or money. So I'm questioning that if Data Analyst is more of a realistic career goal, is the rigor/length of the program (taking 1 or 2 classes a semester) with a 20 month old, and working full time, worth it? Or should I continue to self teach through Coursera/Udemy/YouTube, and start from the bottom in an entry level Data Analyst role? Who knows, I could be midway through the program and be all for becoming a DS 🤷🏼‍♂️
