I’m currently looking to get into data analytics. I graduated from college in 2020 with a dual degree in marketing and finance with a triple minor in criminal justice, white collar crimes, and accounting. I want to go back for my masters but not sure where to go. Preferably online or in pa. I would like suggestions as well as how to get started in the industry with little experience or any advice you can give. Thanks!

I would advice you get some good experience on your back before going for your masters degree. Getting valuable work experience > another degree. Good luck

Having a solid foundation of sql and python will take you a long way. You've probably heard this before but messing around with some of the datasets or projects in Kaggle can be super beneficial for both learning and putting on your resume. If you're looking more into the BI and dashboarding world, Microsoft has a Power BI cert you could try for. It took me about 2 months of studying to get and my employer valued it. Best of luck!

Agree with sgmm1. Get some real job experience before masters to see if you like the field. A lot of marketing stuff they teach you in school is not that applicable in real life.

1. Get work experience before going for a masters if at all possible
2. Learn SQL and Python. These unluck a ton of $150k+ roles that are hard to reach without the skill. You otherwise need to be a people manager or have deep subject matter insight into a domain

Agree with others about work experience. I had 4 YOE before getting my masters and it was very beneficial
