Hello! I’m currently in school my first year for CS major, my goal is to work towards ai, deep learning to be precise… I want to find a mentor and not sure how to go about it, any ideas ? Or would it be best to gain a little more knowledge and learn python first because it’s used widely for ai (from what I’ve read) ? In college the programming language that is taught is c++. Also, How good do you have to be at math? From what I’ve researched… it is heavily math based, calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics. I was thinking about hiring a math tutor to keep me on track but it’s insanely expensive. I did find a tutoring company that would personalize lesson plans to keep me on track but again, it’s very expensive. I do like the idea of that and think it may be worth the money because I’ll be learning from someone in the field oppose to college professors that are all over the place. Any thoughts or recommendations? I should add that I’m 37 and currently working in the medical field full time, I’m an RVT and my job is mentally and physically taxing. I’m a little nervous about a career change so late in the game but I am willing to put in the work. I think with a mentor/tutor it would take out all the hours of self research that I don’t have.
