As you have read this article, you are aware that a large amount of data is generated at any time and that this data must be made meaningful quickly. A new data-oriented understanding is emerging for human beings, who have become data-driven at every point from our entertainment channels to our defense systems. In short:

We are all data now. We expect to be made meaningful with our whole life. We are something meaningless in the digital world.

We used to be a speck in the universe, at least we knew what we were, and now we are a pile of data that perhaps hasn’t even been described yet.

We will talk about Data Scientists who will make you, your environment and the world more meaningful.

The article targets a wide audience in terms of inclusiveness. There is no doubt that the article title is one of the most researched topics in the related field. Questions about the subject are usually as follows:

Can data-oriented improvements be made in my company? What values can I extract from my current data? I don’t know what to do about it?
I am a 10-year-old Javan, there is no end to this business, my chance of promotion is limited. What will happen if I both rise? This area attracts my attention more. I want to head towards this field, what should I do?
I am a software developer, I want to be a data scientist, what should I do?
I am a student of Statistics, Econometrics, Computer or Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mathematics, … and I want to be a data scientist, what should I do?
I’m on the business intelligence side, I want to go this way, what should I do?

With the motivation of being a comprehensive guide that can answer all the questions that can be derived, similar to the above questions, I aim to meet many of the needs you may need in becoming a “Data Scientist”.

First of all, should I set out to become a “Data Scientist”? What’s the trend of this business? Let’s look at their questions and make the decision to become a Data Scientist based on data! Then let’s move on to the concepts of Data Science and Data Scientist.

“If “sexy” means having rare qualities that are much in demand, data scientists are already there. They are difficult and expensive to hire and, given the very competitive market for their services, difficult to retain. There simply aren’t a lot of people with their combination of scientific background and computational and analytical skills.”

The above article, written in 2012, has appeared on the first pages of many data science presentations.

Here we can deduce the following:

Since we are generating data faster than generating garbage, current trends for Data Science and Data Scientists seem to continue for a long time! So it’s time to start working to become a Data Scientist!
