Beginning of career interest

7 September 2020

Researching the career options in Machine learning fields, I have found many pathways to pursue my passion and career through. I have learned the pathways of the Machine learning career can go through basically anything because it is such a broad field of study. One of the many pathways is working with big data from big companies. An example of this would be working for companies such as Microsoft, google, or apple, and filtering the massive amounts of data coming into their system into a way they can manage it and redirect it to people for personalization, marketing, and much more. This type of Machine Learning would use image recognition, and personality AI; and it is easy for them to do so because they have so much access to data from countless data.

Skipping over many pathways in which Machine learning can be applied, I will skip to the one I am most interested in, Autonomous systems and driving AI and Machine Learning. This kind of AI works in Tesla’s autonomous driving system to make sure people don’t crash when they are driving. But this is expanding beyond Tesla Motors, and I believe that it will become very prevalent in our everyday lives when there are self driving drones delivering our packages, self driving cars driving us places, and much more. All of this makes me even more excited to explore the field of Machine Learning.

Even though all of this is great, there are still more benefits from being a Machine learning engineer, such as the starting pay is 150,000. Another bonus is the day to day schedule of their job includes a lot of freedom, because basically they are assigned to do something, and they do it. Many people in the Machine learning field are interested in working out, and so am I, so that's a great start.

One thing that I noticed I need to work on was the coding languages necessary to become a ML engineer, so that is something I will have to put quite a bit of time into.
