Go to kaggle.com and pick up any of the datasets there. Map out all the covid cases in the world or the concentration of different types of crime in America.

Damn that site is official and has jupiter notebook of codes for data science models ...good looks
That edX PowerBI Course expired, never opened it lol.
I built a couple PB Dashboards at work, PowerBI is pretty neat; you can just type and it will suggest a visual. Getting it exactly how I wanted wasn't easy & pretty tedious but I got it in a presentable format.
Where are you guys located & how is the job market for this line of work?

I’m in Maryland. PowerBI and Tableau seem to be pretty popular.
Chicago.
My boss is trying to get my current work off of my plate so that I can spend more time learning about Power BI. As a manager, she thinks it's the future and would be great for the company and our partners internally (and she has hinted it would be a great skillset if I decided to move to another company too).
Personally, my (limited) experience is that Tableau was more popular among the early adopter, data-savvy companies in industries like Finance, Healthcare & Insurance. Most of the remaining industries are just starting to really take data viz seriously and are likely leveraging their current technology providers (read: they probably already invest in Microsoft for services like Office365, Outlook/Teams, Azure, etc) and so I think that the companies currently advertising for skills in Power BI are just drops in a bucket compared to the eventual demand for Power BI
Even the governmental agencies, which typically trail the pack, are getting more data-savvy, in a hurry with all of the public-facing Covid dashboards & KPIs that determine local shutdowns. It is happening on local levels, and to a degree nationally but I envision that it will pick up even more so with Biden's administration and their interest in data-driven decision-making
Jumped back in Power BI after being swamped with yearly tasks for most of Q1. Taking some courses on Pluralsight that have been helpful.

Any of yall use RapidMiner? Is it something you'd put on your resume? Professor is offering these extra credit RapidMiner assignments and I've been doing them because I actually enjoy using the program much more than excel and XLstat.

Just bought the lifetime subs for this. There's a free version as well.

Basically provides you wth SQL interview questions and interview problems, and also data science related problems you'll see in the day-to-day job. Plenty of practice.
Gonna be doing this soon.

I'm doing the Marketing Analytics nanodegree on Udacity. It's pretty good so far.
However, if you're doing any of their programs, make sure you signup when you actually want to start. It'll say 4 days left before next class starts, but it'll start on you on the day you sign up.

Funny sidenote. I'm taking this Business Metrics module and am learning about Customer Acquisition Cost. The teacher sure enough keeps telling me that the "CAC is too high".

Brehs, I recommend these Udacity classes. I'm taking Business Analytics, Marketing Analytics, Data Visualization, and Data Visualization for Power BI. 
I'm not giving these classes their due respect timewise
Work got me drained. But these classes are opening my eyes to things. Other things at work starting to make more sense now. 
They got free and paid versions of these classes. I'm taking the paid classes. Also they got a discount sale going, 75% off until June 29. Eat, brehs.
