Unlike a decade ago when an engineering degree would inevitably be followed by a cushy job, the focus today in the job market has shifted from traditional jobs to technology-focussed roles. As more companies adopt artificial intelligence technologies and transform virtually every industry, there has been a marked increase in the demand for engineers and data scientists who know how to work with a wide range of machine learning platforms and languages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning market are expected to grow to a staggering $8.8 billion by 2022. Unfortunately, companies are finding it very difficult to find people with relevant experience. This has resulted in a huge deficit in the number of qualified machine learning (ML) developers. In this article, we look at some of the factors that can help you become a sought-after machine learning expert.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Become a (Marketable) Machine Learning Professional<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn the \u201cRight\u201d Languages<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-694\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.eduplusnow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kdnuggets-popular-programming-languages-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"722\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.eduplusnow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kdnuggets-popular-programming-languages-1.png 508w, https:\/\/blog.eduplusnow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kdnuggets-popular-programming-languages-1-300x197.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/machinelearningmastery.com\/best-programming-language-for-machine-learning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to build a career in machine learning, it\u2019s important to get a good grip on programming languages such as C++, R, Python, Java, and SQL.
