Good evening nairaland!!
Trust we all had a good day ?
Okay ok
Let me quickly go straight to the reason why I created this thread .


So am currently a student in one of the federal universities of agriculture in Nigeria, studying Agricultural education .
Am in penultimate year in school, although we are currently on holiday and for this reason,I have been thinking critically when bored . My main reason for thinking is that ,

I wanna go into data analysis i.e IT skill, but my fear is that I don't have any background, neither do I know where to start from . Which is my I have come here to seek for advice from professionals in the house .
I have the following questions:

1) can I go into data analysis with a background and first degree in Agric education

2) Will I be able to get jobs without comp sci degree

3) How do I start ?

4) any recommendations for the best IT training school in Nigeria preferably in Lagos

5) How lucrative is data analysis

6) Is there any online training I can get basic s pending when I will be done with uni

Pls I humbly request that you go through this and give your opinion or advice also answers to my questions . I will love to hear from my ogas in d house undecided

I will be grateful if this can hit front page so everyone can contribute ..
Thank you as you help me build my dreams and almighty God bless you all .

U probably came across data analyst from programming thread here ,then why u can't you use the same effort to do your analysis of what what is about on same forum .Average nigerian like to be spoonfed sha ,everything has been discussed here .https://www.nairaland.com/5485400/chronicle-data-scientist-analyst. Part of vital skill for this age is how to fish out information online with minimum supervision which we don't pay attention to with even the answer staring at us at our front .
Also ,you don't need to even have seen a computer in your undergrad to be an IT specialist,courtesy of Internet.It all about your own personal effort now

If you are comfortable with numbers then you should be good to go. Programming may be your stumbling block. But if you are dead determined you can overcome it. A degree in comp Sci is helpful but not absolutely necessary. Give your self 6 months intense training, say 4hrs daily. Then look for US rem0t3 j0b5.

My own perspective is that no matter what you choose to do, you are at an advantage if you can write a computer programming language. So, why dont you sit down and do it. Go slowly but steadily. Learn a language.

Stop validating yourself from people. If he doesnt know how to code, that is him. Go for it.
