I've been working in customer service for 3 years and I want to change careers. I saw there are a lot of online data analytics courses on platforms like Coursera and Udemy, but they cost between 50 and 200 dollars. Do they really help you get a job or is it better to study a full degree?
Online courses can open doors for you, but it really depends on how serious you are about the projects you do during the course, you know? A lot of people just stick to watching the videos, but employers want to see a portfolio with actual projects you've solved. A full degree gives you more structure and credibility, but if you combine an intensive course (like a 3-6 month bootcamp) with solid projects on GitHub and maybe some hands-on experience, you've got a pretty good shot without needing a 4-year degree. What kind of data interests you most - Python, SQL, dashboards?
