Pro - data scientists make bank
Con - you have to actually learn a lot of technical skills which are required before making good salary in data science

Managerial roles seem too stressful and require a ton of interpersonal skills. That may sound good to you, and if it does you will likely succeed at management. For me, I’m focusing on more technical concepts that are in high demand across multiple industries in hopes of landing a high paying and fun job. I love data too
