Can you list their educational backgrounds before going through the training?
-
It's a mixture of a little bit of everything. We have students who have been to law school, who have studied applied physics, and others who hadn't coded for more than a week before the course started.
-
We have students who had only been coding for a week before the class started and others who had been software engineers for years who started their own tech companies that had been acquired. We have MBAs, and psychologists, and students who are still going to school part-time.

It has just proven to me that grit and tenacity are much more important in learning data science/machine learning than educational background (not that a mathematical and programming background doesn't give you a big head start).

Will be interesting to see how the ppl w/o math & programming background fare in job search and what jobs they get. Machine learning is tougher to teach but I’m rooting for yall
