If you are already a PHD do you have chance to do something with big data in the domain? I'm sure there are some big data projects you can do in agriculture. PHD in DNA research tend to have much more relevant experience than those who just go through a few training camp courses as they have to build models for PB level data, which forces them to use CLI and optimize their algos and use advanced tools such as Hadooo, spark etc.

very valuable advise. DS itself is nothing unless it is implemented in a specific domain.
