What are some good tips and/or career paths that I can follow?
I have developed a passion for productive meetings and looking at statistics and trends. Every stat and trend has a story! I love reading and understanding where the numbers come from and I love correlating on how to grow and improve this "story!"

Hi Camden. Since you enjoy looking at numbers and figuring out what they mean, there are a few career paths that could be a good fit for you.
One career you might want to explore is becoming a data analyst. Data analysts look at data to find patterns and trends, helping companies make decisions based on facts, not just guesses. This job involves working with numbers, looking for patterns, and finding out what the data is telling you. If you like uncovering the story behind the numbers, this could be a great fit. You can work in different industries like marketing, finance, or healthcare. To get started, you might want to learn tools like Excel, etc., which help you analyze and present data.
Another option is to become a Business Intelligence analyst. This job also involves looking at data, but the focus is on helping businesses improve their performance. Business Intelligence analysts use data to see how well a company is doing and find ways to make it even better.
You might also want to consider becoming a market research analyst. This role involves studying trends and customer behavior to help businesses understand what people want. If you enjoy looking at trends and statistics, market research could be a good way to apply those skills. You would collect data from surveys, sales reports, or other sources and use it to predict what customers might want in the future. This kind of work helps businesses make smarter decisions about their products and services.
If you enjoy working with teams and leading projects, a career in project management or operations could also be a good fit. Project managers and operations managers often use data to improve how things run. For example, an operations manager might look at data to find ways to make a business more efficient. A project manager might use trends to predict problems and keep a project on track.

You should ideally look up people on LinkedIn whose career paths you would like to follow. That would give you an idea of what roles you could take up.
Most roles today involve data - as a data systems engineer, data/ business intelligence analyst, marketing strategy, AI strategy - all of them require you to be comfortable with data. Lots of data availability is a good first step for AI and anything relevant to AI is in demand these days. So you could explore those options too. Hope that is helpful

Camden, I just want to re-emphasis Wong's answer. Data analyst and/or Business Intelligence would be the two top careers I would recommend. The good news is that those fields seem to be growing, so that future opportunities may be promising. Take as many online courses as possible, obtain some certificates, and look for ways to get your foot into the door by internship, offering your service to non-profits, etc.
I wish you the best in your new career, whichever you choose.
