so I left astrophysics to become a data scientist right out of college. SO here are 5 huge realizations about the data science industry and exactly how much you can expect from your starting salary as a data scientist!!

spoiler: I absolutely love the field and am SO grateful to be a data scientist and have such great entry-level roles! I'm a data scientist without a computer science degree and have learned that you don't really need one to be successful, as long as you have the curiosity and math skills for success! and the pay is generally ~high~, so that doesn't hurt!

If you have any questions for me, please post them below. I will do my best to help you!
