AI and Data Science can lead towards several career paths, depending on your degree, technical skills and experience. Possible directions include data analyst, junior software developer, AI application developer, machine learning engineer and, with the appropriate additional skills, data scientist or computer vision specialist. These jobs are not interchangeable. A data analyst may focus more on reporting and data interpretation, while a machine learning engineer may work on model development and deployment. Look at entry-level job descriptions to identify the programming languages, tools and qualifications employers request. Then use that information to plan your projects and learning.
