Is it beneficial to take online courses on Coursera or Udemy to learn data skills if I want to go into Data Science/Anaytics If so, what should I start with?

I'm in Grade 10, I have some coding experience with Python, and I want to be able to build my skill set so that I have time to improve later during high school. I also want to be able to use those skills to help others (volunteering). I've seen so many "roadmaps" for learning data skills, and they're all different, so I hope someone can clear this up for me. Thanks in advance!

I have completed MA in English in 2021. Then i started a course for data science in 2022. I was into sports so there has been a huge year gap. Now should i join any job for money or should I complete projects for excel and sql to showcase them? I am 27 years old now and that course has still not completed.

I need a good future as there is no one to support me. I am an orphan and i dont plan to have any future company.

Should I focus on Embedded Systems or Data science/analytics?

I'm studying computer engineering in my 2nd year, and in the summer I'll be applying for a co-op. I've done my research and it appears that embedded systems has a steeper learning curve and barrier to entry than let's say data analytics. Both are not easy, but getting an internship as a data analyst looks more approachable. Both are also interesting to me, although embedded looks more hands on and engaging. Thoughts?

What is the best way to decide what career path/major will be best for you?

I have classes, resources, and experiences that would be very helpful for both nursing and data science, yet I am torn between the two. I would love to have a career in data science, yet I can't help but worry about the job security in that field. I have more experience in the areas of computer science and programming, yet I also have a lot of resources that would help me get a stable career in nursing.. Help?

How do I break into a new industry?

I've been working for 20 years since I graduated from college -- 17 years at a nonprofit research institute and then the last 3 years at a large U.S. bank. My focus has been on identifying, selling/pitching, evaluating and experimenting with innovative ideas in a brought range of areas -- new research approaches, novel data science (eg, AI/ML) use cases, ways to use emerging tech to make core lines of business faster/cheaper/better, and new products & services. I left both of the last organizations when my leadership changed and there was no longer an interest in investing in more exploratory innovation (horizon 2 or 3). I see lots of companies that are investing in this type of innovation, but not many in the industries in which I have experience. How can I get the attention of recruiters and higher managers and convince them that my skillset is very transferable?
