Mostly because of the AI boom, attractive salaries, and the perception of strong career growth. Companies are generating more data than ever and need people who can analyze it and build intelligent systems. That said, the field is becoming more competitive, so beginners should focus on developing strong practical skills rather than entering it solely because it’s popular.

I think it’s a combination of all three, AI, growing demand for data-driven decisions, and good career opportunities. Almost every industry generates data now, so companies need people who can analyze it and turn it into useful insights.

That said, it’s not an “easy money” field anymore. Employers expect practical skills, not just certificates. If you’re willing to build projects and keep learning, Data Science is still a solid career choice for beginners.

The key is to focus on fundamentals like Python, SQL, statistics, and real-world projects rather than chasing every new trend.
