Machine learning career path without a degree. A path has a start, a direction and a destination. The assessment gives the direction, the career pages the destination, and the STEM Farm track the start at zero. Machine learning sits between data science and computer research. It rewards curiosity, abstraction, numbers affinity and the patience to run an experiment many times before believing it. Web, software, security, data and technician roles open through certificates, apprenticeships and portfolios; the STEM Farm track assumes no degree.

Questions people ask

How is a "machine learning career path without a degree" different from a personality type test?

Does it cost anything?

No. The full assessment is open at tienesesto.org/stem-assessment, and every result links to a STEM Farm track that starts from zero.
