Why are we all still in this industry, if you can still call it that? And if you could/want to pivot to something different what would it be? It's been almost 20 years of the ad biz for me and right now I would really want to operate a small farm, get up at 4am, take of my animals, the land and maybe make some money. Curious to hear your thoughts, good people.

I despise everything about this industry and if it weren’t for the paycheck that supports my family I would happily do just about anything else.

I don't mind it at all. I've got a secret rough past and am just grateful to no longer be in the sex industry. It's been years and years, and the feeling of joy at making a real living with my clothes on hasn't gone away, lol.

Probably this is going to be the only perspective like mine you'll see, so I thought I'd put it out there.

It’s been 24 years for me. It’s killing my spirit. If I could guarantee that I would make the same money doing any or all of the following I’d quit; voice acting, session singing, stage performance, selling original art, and facilitating spaces/events for other people to create and share their art, I’d love to do that. I wouldn’t mind pet sitting or like, working at a museum or gallery. I just can’t with the corporate politics or the redundant work anymore.

Looking forward to getting started with the Data Science field. mainly 4 types of job profiles in order of prestige :

Data Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Scientist and ML/AI Engineer.

Really confused what to look for, can be a fair fit for any of the profiles- would love to be a Data scientist - it deals with NLP, advance statistics and analytics etc but Data Scientist as fresher?
