A lot of people ask like to get out of their undergraduate degree they maybe do a couple years in an analyst or or junior data science role but then it's sort of like do I need to go get a master's. So what have you kind of learned about that or what advice could you give to people who are kind of like well yeah what should I do if I want to pursue that?
