I was planning on going back to school to study data science, but everyone online is making it out like the tech field is dead and people are getting laid off and now you need eight year experience just to get an entry level gig. Worried I missed the boat on being able to get a good job in the field, should I just accept I'm stuck in retail?

It really depends on what you might do

Starting out at an msp, while it can suck, is a good way of exposing yourself to a lot of technologies quickly.. I know where I'm at networking guys are in high demand
