After the Covid Lock Down was issued the company I was working for as application support on a mainframe cobal program became laid off.
Along with over 100 people due to loss of contract. Having no formal certificates or degree in computer programming I was faced with a choice'
to go back to school adding to the knowledge I had in the computer technology field or back to start over in a new career again.
I have always been interested in the data side of analytics; I knew it would be a good fit for me. This is a small part of WHY Data Science is for me.
