Due to I faced a lot of unfair treatment when I switched a lot of jobs since 2012 resigned from Scicom (Msc) Bhd, almost all following jobs with low paid but long working hours. Therefore I cannot safe money but just affort for standard living expense. Now I have no even 1 cent income since few months ago resigned from Cambodia and get back to Malaysia. I used to tender CV to hundreds company for data scientist / quantitative analyst position within these few years but almost no 1 replied. Therefore I cannot get a job and no income, therefore I appeal to apply for financial aids from Coursera.org.
I hope I can complete whole specialization in R and share with others.
