Data science is a complex field that involves the gathering and analysis of data to reach a conclusion. Data scientists rely on several techniques, including machine learning and statistics. Due to the highly technical nature of data science, becoming an in-demand data scientist takes some effort.

Most data scientists are well educated. About 90 percent of employed data scientists have a master's degree, while approximately 44 percent have a PhD. For this reason, individuals who want to be competitive in the field should get a master's degree at the minimum.

Additionally, master's degrees are best earned in data or related fields. Bachelor's degrees can be a bit more flexible. Many data scientists have bachelor's degrees in fields such as computer science, physics, or math. Data scientists also need computer programming skills, good communication skills, and knowledge of statistics.
