21: Geologist to Data Scientist? Matt Francsis's Career Pivot Into Data Science
Matt Francsis (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewfrancsis/) joined the show today and talked about his journey from geology to data science. He talked about how a data science bootcamp and a "stepping-stone" job that utilized his geology background, ended up helping him break into the field completely.
