I highly recommend you the ALX data analytics course, it's 8months (3 month professional foundations + 5 months of Data analysis). It's about 650/month. Since you're a beginner (if you take the course seriously), it'll give you a structured approach. And yes there are different job opportunities both here and freelancing (the titles for this job may vary), but you need to be flexible, because the some jobs may ask you simple excel while others require you to use python. So skills from data analyst, data engineer, and data science are necessary to excel. https://youtu.be/vFMmtQCaX0I?si=PJA2QHUsOKiLSHBY Don't worry about the coding aspect you'll mainly use SQL and simple python.
