If you\u2019re a complete stranger to data science, it\u2019s the field where data is dealt with and extracted mainly to obtain valuable insights on businesses. Today, almost every business uses data-driven decisions in different ways. And those who don\u2019t are likely to do so in the near future.<\/p>\n
If reading till now has made you interested in becoming a data scientist<\/strong>, but you\u2019re wondering whether it\u2019ll continue to be one of the hottest<\/em> future jobs<\/strong><\/a>, keep on reading this post. Here, we\u2019re going to discuss why the role of data scientists<\/strong> will continue to be one of the most attractive future jobs<\/strong> and why you should focus on making yourself future-proof now.<\/p>\n Before<\/em> we discuss the answer, let\u2019s understand why data scientists<\/strong> these days enjoy such a huge demand in the market. The short and simple answer is that over the last decade, there has been a huge explosion in both the amount of data generated and retained by organizations as well as the common people.<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve already discussed, almost every company or business today relies heavily on data, thus giving rise to a massive demand for qualified and experienced data scientists<\/strong>. And with more and more data being captured across the globe than ever before, the demand for expertise to extract valuable and actionable insights from that data is going to only grow by leaps and bounds.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s see how data scientists<\/strong> will be shaping the future.<\/p>\n Today,<\/em> a huge amount of data is being generated by businesses, organizations, and people constantly. And this amount will become even bigger with more prominence of IoT devices<\/strong><\/em><\/a> in the future.<\/p>\n As a result, businesses will require an increasing number of data scientists<\/strong> to analyze that data and obtain crucial insights from it to have a competitive edge. So, data scientists<\/strong> will be one of those future jobs<\/strong> that will help businesses make progress in both the short- and long-term.<\/p>\n With<\/em> the emergence of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), companies have become more reliant on data scientists<\/strong> due to the requirement of real-time analytics and responsible storing of the data captured by them.<\/span> One aspect of GDPR allows consumers to request that businesses delete some types of data, necessitating that businesses understand where and how such information is stored.<\/p>\n These days, people have become understandably more cautious about giving up their information to businesses compared to people from past generations. Today, people know that data breaches happen and can lead to severe consequences.<\/p>\n As a result, businesses can no longer afford to treat that data irresponsibly and the GDPR is likely to be just the beginning. In this scenario, data scientists<\/strong> are and will be playing crucial roles in helping businesses use the data they collect in an advantageous way that aligns with privacy stipulations.<\/p>\n Careers<\/em> that don\u2019t come with growth potential stay stagnant and it indicates that jobs within those fields have to change drastically to remain relevant. But when it comes to data science<\/em>, it appears to have a huge range of opportunities to evolve in the near as well as distant future. The field demonstrates no sign of slowing down and is gaining heavy momentum instead.<\/p>\n So, it can be said that the role of data scientists<\/strong> will be one of those future jobs<\/strong> that are slated to enjoy high demand. <\/span>However, one small change may happen in the future with job titles becoming more specific. For example, someone working as a data scientist<\/strong> in an organization will not necessarily be doing the same thing at another organization.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s<\/em> consider an example here to better understand why the demand for data scientists<\/strong> will become even bigger in the future. Imagine this – a customer service center is equipped with basic systems that enable employees to check names, physical and email addresses, phone number etc of a customer whenever he or she is calling the center. So, the employees can skip the explanation part in the beginning if the caller is an existing customer.<\/p>\n Now, with the help of the expertise of data scientists<\/strong>, employees can get more information about the callers such as the ratings they gave the business in different surveys, how much they\u2019ve spent on products or services, and their return history, among others. In other words, with the help of data scientists<\/strong>, employees will not only be able to figure out the customers\u2019 problems, but they\u2019ll also understand the mindsets of customers, thereby channeling the interactions accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n Based<\/em> on a company\u2019s unique organizational goals, data scientists<\/strong><\/em><\/a> are capable of creating an individual data strategy aimed at business success. With the development of algorithms, advanced functions will be created to deliver automated solutions and provide feedback to data scientists<\/strong> as data is collected.<\/p>\n As with all data, feedbacks are of no value without analysis and insights of what has happened and what will happen. To obtain a competitive edge, businesses will have to remain better-informed and shape their strategies accordingly and this demand will keep on making data scientist<\/strong> one of the hottest future jobs.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s<\/em> evident that data science work is getting commoditized increasingly \u2013 almost all machine learning frameworks today come with libraries of models that are pre-structured, pre-tuned, and pre-trained. The net impact is that an expert data scientist<\/strong> now can solve in a much shorter period what an entire team couldn\u2019t solve earlier in months.<\/p>\n As a result, businesses across the globe have started to understand that this is the ideal time for investing in data science for lots of domains for which the technology related to the field was too complex or too expensive earlier. And this scenario is going to only expand and become bigger to embrace newer domains within its fold. Hence, the demand for data scientists<\/strong> will keep on rising.<\/p>\n1- Why data scientists will be inevitable in the future?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
