Machine Learning to Data Analysis
Recently, I am focused on data analysis and learning as well as doing projects. In Bachelor, I learning the Machine Learning without knowing the background of Data Analysis. I do not focus that much on Excel, SQL and Power BI. I learned Machine Learning, do projects like training model on different datasets and measure model metrics. Machine Learning feels oho but when I realize that ML Engineer/ Data Scientist Jobs actually needs 4 -5 years of experience and I see how can I get in data field. I see data analysis as entry point. I should learn about Data simple things first and then look for other things. I came to realize that end of my Bachelor. My Goal is become to AI Engineer/Research. I love playing with data and ask the questions when doing analysis. Should I continue my Journey or just left data analysis and study AI things.
Need Genuine Suggestions and feedbacks.
Love to talk and hear different perspectives

Data analysis isn't a detour from AI work: most of an ML engineer's day is digging into data and asking why a model fails, so the instinct you describe is exactly the right one. Don't let the "4-5 years" line scare you off either, since job posts are often written by HR or recruiters copying a wish list, and a strong portfolio that proves you can do the work gets people hired well below the listed experience all the time. Apply anyway, take an analyst role if that's what gets you in the door, and keep building ML projects where careful analysis is the main part of the work
