About 2 months into my first job out of college, I became weary of manually running repetitious excel reports. At that point I became very interested in automation, in this case writing VBA. Since then, I have built upon that knowledge, as well as grown into new spaces like data visualization, SQL and now learning Python & ETL.
Maybe I should start a petition for colleges to require a class on how to query questions online. As I have attained additional experience in the analytics and strategy field, knowing how to phrase the right questions online is a critical skill.
