AI #MachineLearning #CareerAdvice
Hey everyone! 👋 So, I’ve been really interested in diving into the world of AI and ML lately. I’m thinking of taking some certificates, working on projects with TensorFlow and PyTorch, you name it. But then I came across a bit of a buzzkill – apparently, there aren’t many entry-level AI/ML jobs out there right now. 😕 So, what’s the deal? Is it even worth it for us students to study AI/ML if we can’t find jobs afterwards?
Here are some things to consider:
-
The Market is Growing: While entry-level AI/ML jobs may not be plentiful right now, the demand for these skills is only going to increase in the future. It’s a field that is constantly evolving, and companies will need talented individuals like you who have a solid foundation in AI/ML.
-
Upskilling: Even if you can’t find an entry-level AI/ML job right away, having these skills under your belt can make you more marketable in other roles. AI/ML skills are highly sought after across various industries, so don’t underestimate the value they can bring to your career.
-
Networking and Internships: Sometimes, landing a job in AI/ML is all about who you know. Consider reaching out to professionals in the field, attending networking events, or applying for internships to gain valuable experience and connections.
- Further Education: While a Master’s degree can certainly open up more opportunities in AI/ML, it’s not the only path. There are plenty of online courses, bootcamps, and certifications that can also help you build a strong foundation in AI/ML.
So, don’t let the current job market discourage you from pursuing AI/ML as a student. Keep building your skills, stay updated on industry trends, and who knows – you might just find yourself in a rewarding AI/ML role sooner than you think! 🚀
What are your thoughts on this? How do you plan to navigate the world of AI/ML as a student? Let’s chat! 🤔💬
No point at all
You are correct. Master’s at a minimum. Maybe you do better in courses you’re interested in. Don’t expect to find a job in it. I liked MATLAB programming but I didn’t expect to find a job in it. Better opportunity in Java, C#, Python and Go aka Golang. Worse hobbies to have than coding projects, as long as you enjoy them.
pretty much, a masters after a couple YOE if you want to upskill to AI/ML
>What’s the point of studying AI/ML as a student if there are no entry level AI/ML jobs?
Master’s and PhD grads
0 point really
> Is AI/ML only worth it if you go for a Master’s?
You will need a PhD.
Don’t listen to other people’s point of view for anything more than hearing their experiences. Go out there and find your own path, you can figure it out! If you can talk to computers, you can figure out your way into AI/ML! If I ended up doing AI/ML without a degree, you can get there with one.
You still need to have the app developer skills first and foremost, these ML libraries creates features that require a functioning app.
I know new grads with ai engineer jobs (at startups, but also at OpenAI, etc). It’s a booming field.
Prestige among other CS students and you can impress people around you.
Don’t bother the bubble is gonna burst before you graduate or shortly after.
