Is it too late to enter this field as a 24 year old? Im beginning to realize my current field is a dead end and that I made the stupid mistake of following my dream to be a zoologist. Im just about to graduate so there’s no point in NOT getting my degree but I plan to jump ship once I have that certificate in my hand

Ive only taken JS and python courses; made some data sorting algorithms that could predict if wine was red or right by its contents, and did not much else.

I know im going to be competing with people who have been doing this stuff since they were preteens. Is it something i can pick up in months?

Where do I even start?
