As I mentioned in my other comment, I would suggest studying business or marketing or any other similar area of study. Having the ability to recognize trends and tell a story with your findings is the most important skill to have. Being curious and asking the “why.” It’s also really important to be proficient in excel as you will be using it daily to manipulate and maintain data. Data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau are also widely used. Taking courses and getting certifications on those tools will really set you apart. Do some research on common data reporting tools like IRI (now called Circana), Nielsen, Numerator, and Atlas. I believe it’s possible to get certifications in those as well. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions.
