9 Steps to Become a Data Scientist from Scratch via @DataScienceCtrl @BernardMarr

Great blog in Data Science Central from Bernard Marr giving some steps on how to become a Data Scientist.  I agree with him - everyone who wants to become one should join kaggle.com which in itself is a test as you have to pass a test to show you are a Data Scientist.  It's a great source of competitions and data to start to learn and grow as a Data Scientist.
