Data science is a field that uses scientific methods, processes, systems and programs to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms (structured or unstructured). The term "data science" has emerged because of the evolution of mathematical statistics, data analysis, big data and data engineering. Data science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analytics and their related methods" in order to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" with data.

There are many ways to start a career in data science. There are many companies out there that offer technical training for free or at an affordable price. The more you learn about the industry and the more experience you have, the better you will be able to understand what kind of company you want to work for.

You could get started by taking a course in machine learning, Python programming or R programming. You can also take courses on other topics such as SQL, databases, HTML/CSS/JavaScript or web development. Once you learn all these tools and languages, you can start applying them to your current job and use them as part of your daily routine.

You can also apply for jobs that require these skills. You may find yourself working in a large company such as Google or Facebook where they work on projects.
