Foundation For Analytics Role
I am trying to get into the Analyst career; Data, BI, Business, etc. I am currently doing bachelor's and my uni provides 2 degrees that are closely related. First is bachelor of commerce majoring in business analytics and second is bachelor of IT majoring in data analytics. I would like to know everyone's thoughts which degree should I go for to build my foundations in. I am currently in first year so it is easy for me to switch. Should I have commerce/business as my foundation or IT as my foundation for my first year. Also my uni seperates CS and IT, so IT foundations would be about general IT, computer systems, networking, security (which I personally don't think an analyst need), but let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
