No, I’ve already made the decision to leave copywriting (unless an opportunity to have an incredible impact came my way).
Software engineering and data science were the two paths I was considering but engineering won out 1) As an end-to-end (idea to product) creation tool, and 2) Iit doesn’t require me to first become proficient in probability/statistics . The latter is something I eventually hope to do but, financially, I can’t afford to ramp up in math, then data science, then find a job. And while it’s estimated that data science roles will grow at a faster rate than jobs in software engineering, there are far less overall spots available in data science . Being at the midpoint of my career, my ability to make a meaningful contribution somewhere as a software developer seems more likely than as a data scientist. Lastly, I’d assume data science would be the type of skill that AI will replace before software engineering (but that’s a huge guess).

Ah, gotcha. That plan makes sense then.
