def not web development - that’s shipped offshore and is becoming increasingly less technical.

Data science is good but depending on what you wanna do and your current experiences and interest. I tried coding and other things like that I just couldn’t get it so Data Science was harder for me

AWS and google cloud certs are good mix of higher level architecture and technical. am pursuing one myself after my CISM
