Hey guys, I might make this a full post later but I realllly need advice.
I am a software developer with a BA in Ecomonics and Int’l Studies. I became a dev cause I needed a job terribly and didnt have any connections to orgs I was really passionate about. Ive been thrilled to learn programming can really help people! But im starting to get the vibe that data science and statistics might do a bit more damage.
What do ya’ll think? How do I approach my developing my skillset without getting too distracted? I love stat and I love programming, want to help the most people. Im specifically interested in economic empowerment.
Ive read chunks of the fantastic material on 80k but would love to hear some arguments and stories that pit the two options against each other more closely.
Im Denver based if anyone want to chat about this over a beer or food ;)
Stats, or Software?
