Is data scince/ Business Analytics good path for a 3 yr test profession

[bkpeerless]

I want to switch my career. I am currently a manual tester with little bit of Automation Java. I have 3 yrs of exp . I have MBA but I was not able to utilize it in the IT world. I want to switch my career. My interest is in R SAS and Data science. Is there any oppertunity for someone with my profile. I am planning to join a course in Edvancer. But want to know if there is relevant opportunity specially in Kolkata.

I am MBA started career as project analyst but after some time became full time tester in manual testing. The domain i worked on are rare and ceding a good job in good companies is tough (In kolkata its toughest).
The only link between IT and MBA i found in data analyst/science. Also the tools used are not very common known to all.
My experience testing field has saturated and I see no future in long run (also multiple articles has said that automation and AI is the next big thing kind of).
