I’m happy to help - given its Christmas Day I won’t be able to chat for a few days but message me and we can chat. For what it’s worth I’ve been using SAS for over 9 years, have presented at Global forum and other user groups / conferences, sit on the Executive for two local user groups, have mentored a number of new analysts / students and am pretty much self taught <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Oh and I work in Healthcare so we can chat about that as well.<BR /><BR />Looking forward to hearing from you!<BR />Chris Wed, 25 Dec 2019 14:10:59 GMT DarthPathos 2019-12-25T14:10:59Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Looking-for-a-SAS-mentor/m-p/613819#M18484 <P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">Hi all. I plan on pursuing a career using SAS- either working for the government or a pharmaceutical company. I know some R and Python but I prefer SAS. I have been teaching myself for the past 4 months. I am going to get a few SAS certifications and enroll in an online MS Data Analytics program in a few months. I have pretty much all the recommenced SAS books.</P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I am looking for someone that has real life experience working with SAS. Someone to help guide me through the best and most efficient ways to learn SAS. The best books to use. How to get more practice. And general career advice. I am not looking for anyone to check my code. I understand everyone is busy so we would only have to talk once a week or so through email.</P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">Please message me if you want to help. Thank you!</P> Wed, 25 Dec 2019 12:25:56 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Looking-for-a-SAS-mentor/m-p/613819#M18484 WyattLucas 2019-12-25T12:25:56Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Looking-for-a-SAS-mentor/m-p/613825#M18485 Hi!
