If you learn Python and very basic stats and plots, yes you absolutely can. Sign up for grad school or a similar academic programming where they have $500k grants for nonsense like this and they will pay you to produce meaningless "topics" and "sentiments" that you can interpret without rigor - so long as your peers agree with you.
GOD DAMMIT
i literally had a course in python like 4-5 years ago? and i've been trying so hard to just get a job as a junior developer because i paid GOOD money for certifications and shit
i was literally the guy at uni who made a project that compared a government-backed british documentary about romani folk immigrants ("The Romanians are Coming") with fucking top gear
had i known about this i would've been jordan peterson 2 (jordan peterson but better and actually me)
There's still money for this in Europe! It's not too late to be professionally full of it! Plus you can start wearing wool vests.
Argyle patterning though?
Of course! You wouldn't want to be confused for working class!
how do i do that if i already have a job
also i'll study english in my master's degree and then wonder why i always hated math cause i threw away the road to 100 thousand dollars a year and a fucking bookshelf full of eastern cartoon statues like ALL GOOD STEREOTYPICAL LINUX USERS DO
I'M BROKE!
and before anyone goes "uh UH not all linux users have anime collections" i would have a collection of luigi figures
A good trick is to start a PhD, which is usually a paid position (either teaching or research), and exit with a Master's after two years of courses if you aren't feeling it. The stuff you do would be basically identical but you'd get paid for a nearly guaranteed nerd job at the university. And they waive tuition.
You don't need to do this by any means but it is doable if you want to go in that direction.
i also plan on getting a phd in english do not worry. if i got english enough i will go full english
🤣
