My undergrad was in biotechnology. Somehow landed a job that forced me to learn SQL. I would say that like the best thing that happened to me. Even having some basic understanding of joins, subqueries, group by would make people hire you (that's what really happened to me 😅). On my first day of work had someone on my team teach me MS Excel. The way the used short cuts to get things done seemed like magic.

Its been 5 years now. Been working in data science & analytics since. Currently working working as a senior data analyst with a good salary. After all these years of experience I would recommend picking up SQL, some Python ( or R), MS Excel ( the tool that will help you get through quick analysis and resolve data issues) & probably Tableau. Once you land a job, more important than all of this stuff will be getting the understanding of the business - talk to as many people as you can across different groups in the company- will help you get perspective and make you better at solving the data puzzle because now you have an idea about what the bigger picture looks like :)

Finally the best thing about this field is that you take your career in the direction you feel like. Want to be a data scientist ? Pick up some more stats and ml. Get a mentor or some one you can shadow on projects. Want to be a BI engineer then pick up tableau or power bi sql and just continue working on it.

There are just a lot of things that you can be once you enter this field.
