I like data science, but it seems mostly PhDs fresh from university or other young people are being hired for that.
Do you have any domain knowledge outside of programming? A data scientist who understands the domain they're dealing with is a rarity and at least in my opinion worth more than someone who knows all the math, but has no grounding in what he's actually trying to analyse.
