That might be an option to learn from, but it's not my end goal. As a senior sysadmin who was working for and reporting to PHD execs, I saw directly how what was needed was someone to do the data science and then bring convincing results and reports to the execs, essentially distilling the knowledge and wisdom of what needed to be done. I really want to fill that disconnect. (eg one of my failures as a sysadmin was me focusing too much on the technical, and now I want to expand and play the business board room politics game, but with data science)
