I have a psychology degree and an interest in overall health (mental, physiological, neurological etc). I also enjoy and find technology interesting as well with an overall interest in automation/making lives easier- in a health sense
So far, I am considering to learn a programming language on my own and head back to university for some ML classes and linear alge
bra/stats.
However, I also like tech and leadership. I am trying to navigate through what I want as a career. I heard about machine learning/AI and thought there may be an intersection where I could use my interests in health and incorporate them with tech. Perhaps program AI that would aid specific health issues? Of course, I am looking for something that pays well and has a good environment.
If you all could be kind enough to pitch in your thoughts and help with my brainstorming :)
r/learnmachinelearning
Get up to speed with probability, linear algebra and calculus 1 at the minimum.
Start with Python
Once you feel comfortable in both, start learning ML :)
When all you do is practice maths for long periods of time, it demotivates to continue your learning, especially if you come from a non-quantitative field. My advice is to spend some time playing with ML in parallel too. Hands on practice is both fun and useful even if you don’t quite understand every single thing you’re doing.
