Hi so a bit about me I'm a qualified secondary maths teacher in my mid to late 20s over the past year or two I've found that I've hit a ceiling so to speak I enjoy working with the students but I really need a new challenge now. my priorities have changed and I want to be in a job that will constantly challenge me to reach my potential and has good career prospects going in to the future. I don't even care about the holidays anymore. my friend is studying computer science and I find IT particularly data analytics to be very interesting as I'm a bit of a maths head already What can I do to make myself more employable in this field. How could I land a junior analyst role? I've been looking at the prof diploma in data analytics in UCD can anyone recommend it? I've also been tipping away myself learning about access, entity relationships etc. And brushing up on my stats it's actually great fun! Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated !
