Usually I see people struggling to formulate questions. They know what they want, but don’t understand how to get there. Left to their own devices, they hack up some nightmare in Excel.
I worked with a summer intern on creating reports and learning SQL. She was a really smart business major who ended up with the wrong work assignment. I was getting 5-7 questions a day from her in June, 1-2 a week in July and by the time I got back from vacation in August, she had basically done about 90% of a project that was going to be hired out and was showing me some features of the database we were using that I didn’t know!
It inspired her to switch majors and she is a fancy data scientist somewhere! Awesome mentor experience.
