Career Path Over the past few years, taking AI courses with Todd Kelsey, I have begun to reconsider the career path I'm currently on and how I can leverage my skills to attain better jobs in the future. Professor Kelsey's Google Doc shows that underemployment data and how 57% of Business majors are underemployed, five years after graduation. There is a lot to consider when shifting your career path; however, attaining a Master's degree is one of the best ways. Traditionally, most have considered a Master's in Business Administration (MBA), but with how prevalent AI is proving to be, a Master's in AI could be the better route. For me personally, my undergraduate degree is in Business Administration, and I feel like a Master's in AI would differentiate me from those with an MBA.  There are also many other ways to approach this, as there are Coursera courses available to take where you could gain similar skills to showcase and apply in the workplace. Although the r...

Print Statement & Comments Week 2 introduced coding in Google Colab which is an introduction to Python. This can be extremely useful to learn Python because all the code runs in the cloud which means users don't have to install software locally. Google Colab can also run other languages, however, it requires a little bit of additional setup. Boot.dev A resource I've been seeing pop up in ads has been Boot.dev to learn back-end web development. It covers Python, Linux, Git, plus many others and is a self-paced approach to learning coding. The cool thing about it and what interested me in the first place was the RPG (role-playing game) style where users can earn achievements and take different paths in their learning. Users can earn XP and achievements to give them the same feelings they would get from playing a similar adventure game while learning at the same time. Boot.dev covers the same print statements and comments as Google Colab would but in more of a guided approach...

Hello everyone, my name is Max Welu and I'm in my final semester at Benedictine. This is the fourth and final AI course I'm taking with Todd, and to be honest, I'm disappointed it's coming to an end. I think everyone taking his courses is setting themselves up to learn instrumental skills that will help land jobs. I currently work for a market research company in Oak Brook, IL and the skills I've learned have paid dividends when it comes to quantitative and qualitative analysis. Trust me when I say that AI is becoming an industry standard and will make your job easier. Aside from work, I enjoy playing golf on the weekends, working on my car, listening to music, and playing video games. I'm looking forward to another great class learning AI and networking with other classmates. Here's a picture of me playing "chef" at work, enjoy!
