Are you a grad student who's thought about becoming a data analyst?

In this video, I share three reasons why I think a career in data analysis is a perfect fit for many grad students. The three reasons are:
1. Higher pay than a postdoc
2. Strong career progression possibilities
3. Variety of industries

2. You might need to create a portfolio project
3. Humility is required
