How to start a career in Data Science and what other promising areas does Python have?

Question

Python

Hello. I am a computer science student with no experience working on real projects (not counting the creation of landing pages and simple store sites, but I don’t plan to deal with the web anymore). Recently, I met a python and I really liked it. To tell the truth, I have been looking in the direction of such things as data science, ML and IoT for a long time. I know that these are all abstract concepts, so I actually decided to ask a question.
Ambition and study are certainly good, but in my understanding, a career begins when they start paying you for your work. Since I am studying in a semi-sharaga, I don’t have to count on an internship, and I guess it’s quite difficult to find a job, albeit with a diploma, but without having a set of skills for a specific field of activity and a drop of experience. Therefore, I decided to find a specific roadmap for myself based on Python, study all related tools and look for a job as a junior. I honestly tried to analyze this issue on my own, but only realized that I have no idea what DS is.
And the actual questions:
- Which areas of Data Science are most closely related to coding (and least related to consulting) and what initial positions exist in these areas.
- What other promising areas of IT related to Python are there that have a fairly high demand at the initial level?
The questions are naive, the questions are abstract. I know sorry.

Answer 1

Conditional roadmap

Answer 2

Marry the offspring of a successful Data Scientist and rely on daddy's connections - this recipe works much better than others.
Data Science Confirms™.

Answer 3

There is a course on ml from Yandex on the course. a great. I go through it myself. costs money, but it's cool. after the third course (out of 5) you can go to work.

Answer 4

In DS, programming is of practical importance.
Without knowledge of ter.vera, mathematical statistics, mathematical modeling, there is nothing special to do there.
And yes - in this area they often look at a diploma, because. our universities cannot teach programming normally, but they are good at taking out the brain with a matan.
