My son is currently in his 3rd year of B.Tech in Data Science and Engineering at MIT Manipal. The opportunities for 4th year mandatory internships haven't been very encouraging thus far which has left me a little worried for job opportunities once he completes his graduation level studies. The plan is for him to gain professional experience for 2 - 3 years and then take a sabbatical to complete his MBA. What do you think the future prospects are for a Data Science Engineer. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Ans: If he is sure to do an MBA, then let him write MBA entrance exams starting from when he is in Final year. If he gets a good college, he can take it up else can take up a job and write MBA entrance exams till he gets a college of his choice.
As of now there is a good scope for Data Science Engineer, but with advent of AI things are changing.
