Does an MSc data science student get into oceanography with no relevant experience?

I’m interested in oceanography but don’t have much experience in the field . Hoping to get some advice from actual oceanographers . Any certain skill sets that I need to learn or any sort of advice is appreciated.
Thank you.

As a coworker of mine told me “most people who work in oceanography don’t start out in oceanography” if you’re interested in the modeling side of it, focus on your ML, programming, and mathematical modeling skills.
