Dear aspiring data sis/bro, it will take 6-12 months of intentional learning and practice to be market-ready for a data role. Whether you start and commit to it or not, the 6-12 months will still come and go. There’s money in tech, but it takes time and commitment.

My bolt driver's wife called when he was about dropping me off this night. She was nagging and speaking angrily- "where are you? shey you've still not met the target? na so customers scarce?. Man couldn't say a word. Couldn't shout back. Was just sighing. He was obviously bitter.

A lot of men are carrying loads that aren't "theirs". Many are forced to become providers while still children themselves. Many are earning but its not showing on them-footing bills here and there. Please be kind to your man (father, husband, brother, cousin BF etc).Men cry!

Men are suffering and nobody is paying attention. The expectations, the demands- from family, friends and foes. Worse is the sense of entitlement from people. When a man provides, it is nothing that he should be appreciated for, after all it is his DUTY. This has to change!

We had a man-to-man chat and he talked about how difficult things have been for him since he lost his job. He's frustrated. He's doing his best to provide for his wife and son. Working extra hours while spending close to nothing on himself. Being a man can be a thankless job.

PS: The use of "my Bolt driver" was not intended to be derogatory- taking Bolt also say something about me. Secondly, would it have sounded derogatory if it were to be "my lawyer, or my doctor"? Jobs and titles shouldn't define us or the respect we accord to people IMO.

I'm of the opinion that if you really want to do well in certain career paths in data, such as DS, ML, & AI, you need to sit down and read. Go from just taking courses to reading journals and research papers. You need solid theoretical knowledge. Don't let anybody deceive you.
