Becoming a Data Scientist After a Stats Degree

Hey everyone,

I’m doing my Bachelor’s in Statistics and planning to do a Master’s in Data Science. I’m really interested in becoming a data scientist, but I’m not sure how to go about it.

I have a Few Questions:

1. Is it a good transition to go towards Master's Data Science after a BS in Stats

2. Advice on how I should prepare for this career? What skills should I focus on

I am right now in my 2nd year of Bachelors so I have still have 3 years till I graduate, If I start to work on the right skill sets I may accelerate my carrer.

Thanks
