Many of us are looking for ways to gain practical skills while also supporting our education financially. Has anyone found effective strategies to achieve both without compromising their studies?

I’ve thought about taking on freelance projects to apply my learning, but it feels a bit risky without a strong foundation. Internships are another option I’m considering, but they often require a significant time commitment that I’m unsure I can handle right now. For those already working in data science, how did you manage this? Did you find a particular type of job that helped you while you were learning?

I totally get the struggle! I started with online tutoring in math and stats, which helped me reinforce my own skills while earning some cash.
