That article should come out of Delhi or Beijing, not Washington. Thanks to the western world, for stopping their evil doing in Asia (excluding Near East). When US/France/UK get their ass out of Africa and Middle East, expect further decline of global poverty. https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-brought-271-mi...

" He believes his test subjects think the world is poorer, less healthy, and more dangerous than it is" People aren't idiots, they aren't wrong. Its Rosling who is wrong. Rosling is a propaganda machine for the crony capitalists who have destroyed nations in middle east and Asia, continue to do so even in "oh so rich" United States. After a century of decolonization and continuing war in the middle east, and palestine for oil and natural gas, Rosling is just telling us its getting better. Thank god!

Well who was to blame for the poverty, the hard working men and women got out off, in the first place. When can we get a report on that?

The answer to that question is the same as, what do you like spending much more time on, machine learning and statistics or software engineering. Good career trajectories often start with answering that question. Talk to the hiring manager about your skills and why you want that data science position. It will be difficult but you will find a data science team, which will not make a decision based on the fact whether you have a PhD are not. PhDs are just an extreme oversimplification of data science skills, and there is hardly any other possible degree example that would qualify, CS undergrad is already taken for SWE positions like you are stating. Don't let these oversimplication of role requirements bog you down, it is made for HR people not you.
