Teaching in a practical and fun way is my way 😊

A good question! For the non-technical person, I would recommend learning python by heart. After you know python, then you can decide because every latest technology is using python only. Happy learning! Ps: for non-technical people also, python is easy.

Even if you're coming from Non-Tech background, if you're strong in mathematics then with no doubt you can choose Data Science. Additionally Learning python programming would help you a lot.

Data science is best course, you can able to learn quickly as you are from non tech background. Data science is all about the analysis of data and interpretation. If you are one who is willing to learn on daily basis then I would suggest to go with data science. Practice and learning is necessary.

Python is not mandatory for learning spark. But if you have some core Java skills, that will be the add on to learn spark.

You should focus on the analytics part of Data Science, and not on big data. Analytics require knowledge of business along with Data Science skills.
