This article in the NYT a few weeks ago started off so promising, skewering many of the "STEM Shortage" narratives. But then they started talking about how hot and promising "data science" is. It used to be that I heard stories of people getting hired into "data science" jobs with no prior training specific to the field, just a decent background from a PhD in some data-heavy science or engineering field. Then I started hearing of various "boot camps" to prepare data scientists, because employers didn't want to train people. Lately I've seen ads for "data science" MS programs. And now a NYT article saying how hot it is.
Data Science is about to be saturated.
