Surely the easy answer is do something with your knowledge. If you feel you can apply it, then I would say it was useful.

I couldn't imagine reading 3 books on python, and wondering will I get an interview. The question should be, can I write a simple program. Measuring by can I get a job interview is asking the reverse question.

I mean, would you hire you? Can you solve a potential company's problems with your AI toolset.

I get what you mean. I've been applying the skillset to Kaggle problems, each of which I imagine contain multiple subproblems which companies might face. But kaggle standings, in my experience, dont seem to be too convincing a metric for job openings.

The problem with the MOOC ecosystem at the moment is there's no clear path forward with them. I'd have imagined the MOOC certifications solving this problem, but I feel networking plays a much bigger role in the job market rather than credibility.

The only exception I see is Udacity, which, by its pricing has created a limited pool of graduates, and therefore are valued much higher

Stay away from:

- MOOCs

- Udacity

- Kaggle

I'm not being facetious, this is my honest advice.
