For my bachelor's, I studied sociology. I really enjoyed it and tried to do more than was needed. I was a member of a market research student organization, and I also did a field research internship. I liked statistics, SPSS, and quantitative research in general. At the end of the three years, I felt like it was not what I want to do. A lot of things we did were too theoretical and never put to practice. I had a break where I took the time to reevaluate what I want to do. I got interested in data science but didn't want to throw away the three years of working towards my bachelor's. I found a master's program that uses technical data science in combination with real-world applications. This was exactly what I wanted to do. I got so into data science that I took many more courses than were required and did a lot of online courses in my spare time. You can also see that reflected in my GPA. For my master thesis, I began working on a project, but in October, I received an email from my supervisor about an opportunity at a well known company. This meant that I would have to extend my studies by another six months. I think it was an excellent decision and it also allowed me to take an additional three courses. Now I'm finishing my master's, and I have a high chance of receiving summa cum laude.
