5-6 years back there was no name like data science or no one knew about data science and anything like that it is an emerging field now and anyone who is working in it or measure of them have jumped in this field automatically with time or realized with time that they are interested in this field and want to do further work in this field so they are doing that many of them are from different background like statistics, art, science field, some are musicians or others who are initially tried to work in different fields and with time they realized that they are interested and want to make their career in this field.
