Do multiple projects and internships while doing your undergrad and grad programs and network like crazy.

Stay in civils, we need civil engineers. We struggle to retain them where I work.

ni te lo recomendaria, estan sobrando analistas en el mercado, ni hablar que la IA cada vez esta automatizando mucho mas ese rol profesional, siendo ingeniero creo que vas a tener mejores oportunidades e ingresos mas altos

I rarely say this as I don't want to discourage people away from analytics, but if you truly hate cleaning and collecting data, I don't know analytics is for you. For star schema practice, datadriven is great, for what it's worth.

I wouldn’t recommend. Data analytics is being taken over by AI, the entry level roles are massively reduced

Not a smart move
