2020 year end review

Oops, one unexpected thing has happened. I want to be an AI engineer, so after finished almost every university course, I decided to suspend one semester to learn machine learning and deep learning. It has not stopped here, one more unexpected thing has happened, my friend at university invite to join a team to do the capstone project - the last and big project to be graduated from the university. And I agree to join the team.

I have unable to fulfilled many goals in 2020. The biggest goal is to learn data science, but after consideration of the current situation, I think that switching to AI is a better way. That is the reason why I suspense a semester to learn AI. But the decision to join the capstone team takes a lot of time from me, so I don't have enough time to dive deeper into AI. But the result of the learning process is not so bad. I have learned many basic machine learning algorithms, I have finished a deep learning specialization on Coursera. I have applied some knowledge to small projects too, the project itself is not so complicated but I have learned many things relate to organizing a project.

Now I realized that I have failed every goal of 2020 😖.

But I have joyful this year, I have finished the capstone project, so I am now eligible to be graduated.

At the time of writing this post, I am looking for a job. But right now I am very confusing, I am not good enough to apply to an AI position. I can easy to find a back-end position, but I am not satisfied with the salary. I think that I may lose now. I have to rethink my career path.
