Shadow someone in all of these fields and see if you can do that for several decades.
I think shadowing was the best thing I have ever done, because it helped me realize what profession I never want to do.

I would absolutely recommend data science, its a career that will keep growing and involving many different tasks because we live in the data age. And with 5g it will transform everything.

With nursing you will deal with some very shitty and irritating patients.

Accounting is facing automation right know, there are software that can do an accountants job quickly. Of course thats unless you are highly specialised into a niche area which means you have to commit to at least a masters degree.

I think teaching can be rewarding if you are blessed with diligent and attentive students, otherwise it can be a hell if you're stuck with troublesome students.

Why not consider computer science, you can complement some of your knowledge to this field. In fact, computer scientists can specialise in data science, maybe that's what you did.

Data science only makes sense if you have technical depth in a given field so that you can show unique insights from the data e.g. if you combined it with business studies and you can show some insights for say the potential for oil and gas market or health or something. As a generic area, it strikes me as just glorified statistics combined with some IT skills like programming.

I'd go with nursing or another specialty or good old cyber security (if you want something ITish) which is a high growth area.

I can get a data engineer position. Its not so much data science , its mainly using python + Azure cloud computing(Data synapse analytics).

Data science for potential and unlimited growth, ultrasound tech for cushy and comfortable job. That's how I look at it. You have to choose what makes you happy, they are all fine fields.

 

[Leeban]

You can finesse Accounting to network into other fields, you brush more shoulders and have conversations with movers and shakers

Wallaalo, f*ck teaching. I'm telling you from experience, i'm currently studying how to code and flipping shit coins. Eventually I wanna learn crypto languages and break into that. Take the boring dull jobs where you deal with a computer/software and has minimal women in workplace.

Yes I did say that, these s will drive you mad.

Yeah it's not worth it fam, trust me!! Helping the children grow and learn is an incredible experience, but the office politics, the image politics, the customer service like approach to education, the parents trying to police you and force their views into your classroom, knowing bigoted cadaan teachers working with kids that you know they dislike, watching grown adults talk to children as if they're their equals, whole profession is sickening

Unless you enjoy any of the other fields, I would say Data Science for sure. Great growth, job security, pay, remote work.
