Newish to data analytics. Have some experience in power BI, sql, and R. I wanted to get some exposure to aws and saw the AWS cloud practitioner as an available course at my job. Is this cert worth it? Or should I try one of the more advanced ones ? The data analytics one for example but wasn’t sure if it would be difficult to get through as a beginner. Will it look good on my resume?

You could probably just jump to a company that uses AWS. it's too much information to retain from just a certification

I always recommend building a portfolio first. It's a great way to display your talents to employers. It can also help refine what skills/roles you want to pursue. Certifications are handy, but I've found that companies are willing to let you get them later if you have a good portfolio.

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?
