Should I learn data Analysis?

Hey everyone, I’m about to enter my 3rd year of engineering (in 2 months ). Since 1st year I’ve tried things like game dev, web dev, ML — but didn’t stick with any. Now I want to focus seriously.

I know data preprocessing and ML models like linear regression, SVR, decision trees, random forest, etc. But from what I’ve seen, ML internships/jobs for freshers are very rare and hard to get.

So I’m thinking of shifting to data analysis, since it seems a bit easier to break into as a fresher, and there’s scope for remote or freelance work.

But I’m not sure if I’m making the right move. Is this the smart path for someone like me? Or should I consider something else?

Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
