Talent that occurs through the genetic/epigenetic process of having attained a Data Science masters degree after earning a Computer Science degree?

I am a believer in inherent talent but Data Engineering is a skill set.

Engineering is a talent skill there is a world of difference between teaching someone starting from scratch and then starting someone first having to unlearn what they learned to then learn perhaps a completely new way of thinking.

Most of the reskill programs I have heard of failed miserably exactly because the skill isn't enough.
