Is it too late for me to pursue data science?

Consequently, a recent survey by Zippia found that the median age employed data analysts in the U. S. is 45 years old, despite ageism in the sector. So brings us to our opening statement: Are you too?

You state that "the average age is 45".

That simply means that among all the data that has been analyzed, this company found out by doing the math that the average age was the one indicated.

However, among those people, there are perhaps a greater number over 45, some perhaps even in their early sixties.

In other words, no, you are not too old to pursue a job in data science. You will simply not be able to practice that job for as long as someone that does it when they are in their early twenties.

Furthermore, how reliable is that company you are referring to and are they the only ones that do market analysis?

I don't think it's ever too late to do what you want to do. I'm trying to get into software programming and I felt a similar way
