For anyone who wants to learn "Data Science," I want to emphasize that it's such a fluid term. I would recommend starting out by analyzing a dataset in an area that is close to your heart, whether it's real estate pricing data for your neighborhood, or educational curriculum & outcome data. For me, it just happened to be genomic and patient health data, because that was a problem space I felt comfortable playing around in. If you explore the myriad technologies out there to help you find patterns and predict things from that data you're passionate about, before you know it you'll wake up one day and realize that you're actually a data scientist! It's all a matter of learning how to use different tools and when to apply them, and this just comes with practice.
