      Uncertain about this. One guy who was in my hiring cohort was a high school dropout But cases like this may be exceptions that prove the rule. In data science you typically will need /some/ kind of degree, graduate is better. Or at least a cert but that's a bit dodgy.

          Partly in spite of my constant shitting on schools, it's hard to develop deep intuition about data without just kind of marinating in data problems for years around more capable practitioners. Ie its not just episteme, there is substantial techne at play.

          I think you can manage to develop the techne from entry/related roles, but the challenge there is that the classes of problems you'd be expected to solve are pretty strictly less complex than those you'd see in a proper DS role Unsure whether I'm still answering your question :)

          data science specifically seems to frequently ask for grad degrees, at least a MA jobs exist below that but seem significantly worse but i haven't been recruiting for that heavily, so mostly just word of mouth from other college students

          okay so you were a recruiter! okay awesome. so, what were the kinds of initial impressions you had when you would hear that a potential employee did not have a degree?

          are you working in DS? i'm not too sure of how it works in DS but isn't a degree usually called for DS jobs? also, do you feel like you couldn't accomplish as much as you have to this point if you didn't go to college for a degree?

          Yeah--I'm working as a DS. I could have worked through textbooks on my own, but there's a ton of implicit knowledge I think I would have had a hard time picking up without experience working in laboratories and similar
