    I'm a statistician (with master of science degree). Here are additional points.
    1. YES statistics is DIFFICULT to achieve. Math courses are prerequisites and you add more concepts of statistics. It's really a challenging but rewarding degree.
    2. Speaking of a rewarding degree, you get
    - paid for freelance and consultation works
    - paid for research works that leads to scientific results (say, biostatistics) and policy recommendations (say, economics/econometrics)
    - some bragging rights.... while many people hate math, there are still numerous graduate degree takers and holders in the pure and applied sides, and statistics is even rarer.
    3. The flexibility is also true. Applied Statistics is the single most used (and abused) field in STEM and Social Sciences as source "empirical evidence" to prove hypothesis.
    4. Be it in academe or industry, statisticians are asked for collaborations in both short-term and long-term projects if data interpretations and modeling is needed.
    5. You see beyond what the data tells you as it is intellectually challenging and satisfying - once you choose your field and applications (Biostatics, Econometrics, Survey Sampling, etc.), you should know current trends and findings about it as people around may ask your opinions about it specifically if you work in an academe.
    6. Learning theoretical statistics is a huge boost: you can easily transition into data scientist and machine learning engineer through coding training or practice statistics in the industry or academe.
    PS: Earning a pure statistics degree in masters level might be the most flexible degree you could get if you want to get a PhD in other fields (Biology, Environmental Sciences, Economics, Meteorology, Agriculture, Engineering, Public Health, Computer Studies, Psychology, and the list goes on) or in Statistics itself. In general, for as long as data and uncertainty exists, a statistician has a job and direction.

      Short answer: No.
      Details: statistics is versatile and frommy original post, it's rarer at least in our country. If you have a degree in statistics, you can choose working on the industry or work anywhere that deals with data until you discover your niche. On my end, I chose to stay in the academe. Collaboration, research, publishing journal articles, and teaching the proper applications of statistics are some of my interests.
      It's likely because I have a master of science degree. I'm more in the pure than applied side although YOU GET PAID MORE IN THE APPLICATIONS 😁 salaries of those who are connected in the industry is far better than in the academe (like everybody knows). But i enjoy my job as a collegeinstructor, perks as research incentives, and freelancing for consultancies.

      Well, as a professor, I do teaching stuffs and other responsibilities that the job requires. A statistician still needs a day job.
      But if you are already a "legend" in the field like those with doctorate and vast experiences and connections through long years of practice, you can already rely on consultations from organizations, public and private sector and enjoy so much vacant time. Still quite far from that level though. That's the great thing about statistics- you'll never run out of options or directions.
      More on the context: when clients have consultations, i entertain their questions until their data is sent for analysis. My usual clients are physicians or those in the medical schools. It's more fun and higher paying to have professional clients. There, I said it.
      In my vacant time, I write journal articles specifically in the methodology and results as it is my expertise. You see, in the academe, research output published in ISI or Scopus indexed journals gives you higher points for promotion. Good thing for a statistician, you can collaborate with so many faculty members ad long as they need statistics specifically higher levels of statistical modeling.
      Then i go spend time with the family and have fun like cycling 😉 It may look like I'm very busy with these but it's the other way around. Statistics makes you earn beyond your day job in a short period through clients.
      PS: freelance consultancies are easier of 1. You graduated from at least a master's degree and 2. You are connected in the academe (at least in our country)

      Stats MSc here
      I believe it comes in large part from the fact that loads of bachelor's have just a very basic stat course in the study plan. Usually, doing something superficially makes it feel devoid of meaning - which makes stats intro feel frustrating. All paired with widespread bad numeracy which makes the stat class be perceived as very hard even if it covers stuff you can surmount with sums, multiplications, and proportions.
      Perceived uselessness and disproportionate difficulty, for e.g. psychology students who have little to no math in all other courses and won't be "in the habit", spells a plausible scenario explaining stats' bad rep.

I do some of the cutting edge machine learning (what people call artificial intelligence). You do have to know more than statistics, including how to code very well. I didn’t have a statistics degree though. I had a biomedical engineering degree. You can get the job with any mathematical major.

    As someone studying Statistics and Computer Science, I would like to give my input:
    1. You mention that a potential negative is a lot of number crunching, but I tend to disagree. Or at least, it depends on what you mean by number crunching. There's a huge variety of jobs, some of which you'll barely do any math in and you'll mainly be making PowerPoints (typically more managerial) and doing meetings, but then there are other jobs (Machine Learning Engineer) where your main job is to develop Statistical Models. Of course, in most you'll work with math, but keep in mind Computers can do most number calculations instantly, so a lot less than is spent number crunching than you might think. I think the most popular job is Data Science at the moment, and it's a bit more programming heavy and essentially finding data, cleaning it and then deciding what model to use and what insights could be valuable.
    2. With me and a lot of my friends, we are neutral with Math, but LOVE statistics. I would highly encourage anyone thinking of it, to just try some Statistics. Especially some practical, real life problems. Math is like the fuel and Statistics is like the race car. You might like it more than you'd think. Especially, if you're an analytical thinker with an inquisitive mind. I started off with accounting and then quickly discovered that I like statistics ;).
    3. It's difficult. Applied Statistics is much easier, but the more theoretical courses (which most Bachelors should have) in Mathematical Statistics are difficult. However, it's not impossible for most people I'd say. Just work hard and enjoy the learning process.

      @Sebastian48532 3 года назад +15

      @@tomthomas17 Hey man, if I understand your question correctly, it's essentially Statistics (applied) vs Mathematical Statistics.
      There's a lot of debate regarding this question, some people believe the deeper understanding that comes from learning the proofs are vital and others believe it's a waste of time.
      Having done both Applied and Mathematical Statistics, I'd say go for Applied and do maybe 1 or two Math Stats courses.
      The further you go in theoretical statistics, the more you lose touch with reality and the application thereof, which at the end of the day, is the important part. It also gets way more difficult (although doable) and can get a bit demotivating if all you're doing is difficult proofs. However, I believe that some theoretical background is crucial to ensure that you're really aware of what you're doing and the underlying theory behind statistics. You shouldn't just be applying formulas.
      From an employers point of view, I don't think most will care. At least where I'm from, it doesn't matter. Depends what you want do in Finance, but for the quantative fields a Masters degree is often required. Math/Comp Sci/Statistics (applied or theoretical) are all good for quantative finance positions and pretty much all of them are well respected. Depending on what you're interested in, CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) could be important and relevant as well as FRM (Financial Risk Management - more quantative).
      Hope this helps :)

      It depends on the University, but I think you'd be able to.
      With the whole Data Science thing at the moment, it's becoming really common for non-stats majors to do a Masters in Statistics. For example, at my University a lot of Computer Science majors end up doing a Statistics Master.
      However, the crucial part is your Math background. Specifically, you need a solid foundation in Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus.
      You also get different Statistics Masters, so you get a traditional, pure Statistics Master and then you get ones with more of a Financial Concentration. And of course, nowadays you also get a Data Science version, which contains more Computer Science courses.
      I think, the Finance ones might be of interest for you. However, at the end of the day, they are all good and it doesn't really matter which one you pick. Even if later down the road, you decide you're not interested in Finance anymore, you can easily switch to a Data Science role.

    yes. there will be programming. and honestly, even if there isn't a lot, the reality is, having knowledge of statistics is harder to come by, then learning something like Excel, VBA, Python, or R. All of that is there and will be updated by developers eventually, and when you decide to learn, it will be the latest version w/download; statistics has strong fundamentals & foundations associated with it that are harder to ingrain or 'wing'. I'd say, statistics >= cs.

    I'm about to start my bs in statistics
    Any advice or suggestions regarding the journey ahead like handling the learning curve and any good books, resources and online certifications you recommend taking on alongside pursuing this degree?
    How were you all able to choose your specialization was it random or did you do something to better understand what you preferred?
    Are there any statistics-related projects or competitions or research opportunities and challenges you recommend participating in to build practical skills?
    Are there any extracurricular activities or student organizations related to statistics that you recommend i can form because there aren't many available where i live.
    How did you find internships or research opportunities related to statistics during your undergraduate studies? Was it LinkedIn?
    Can you provide any networking advice or suggest conferences around the world or events where I can connect with professionals in the field?
    Thanks!

    I received a Statistics minor to pair with a bachelor's in International Business... ultimately a very, very useful skillset that can be applied in all areas of life... HOWEVER... As a previous Business Analyst, I quickly discovered that crunching numbers all day sucked the soul out of me. Stats if very fun tho!

    You know what's funny. I got my master degree because I wanted to improve my skills as a service provider (for my own online business), but, while I work towards building it, I need to have a job that pays the bills. The funny thing is, it's kind of difficult to find a job with my master (health and clinical psychology) and I came here to see what other masters I can get to get a job and then I remember, "you got a master for your own business".
    Sometimes is just hard to keep your focus, specially because even though I want to have a business, I also have dream jobs.

    I was so nervous that you were gonna talk about how being a stats major is not a good idea but I’m glad to hear I’ve made a good decision. I’m actually in a four year master program for Biostats so I’m saving 2 years worth of tuition and 2 years worth of time where I can be working and building my career. Good thing I picked a school that took all 32 of my AP credits. I just love statistics which makes me a huge nerd I know, but I always was good at math but wasn’t sure what I would do with it, and then when I took stats in high school and actually fell in love with it. I’m actually a math and stats tutor also at my university. As of now I’m hoping to be a data analyst for clinical trials, which with covid is in even more demand, but if that doesn’t work out my degree will still be a masters level statistics degree if I decide to not stay in the medical field.

    Hi, I'm a college sophomore majoring in mathematics, minoring in statistics. I think I'd like to end up with a career as data analyst or statistician, or something else along those lines. I'm considering applying for an integrated master's degree program next fall so I can receive a masters in applied statistics. If I do this, I would graduate in 5 years with a master's in statistics. Do you think this would be worthwhile or should I save the money and just graduate in 4 years with a bachelor's degree? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

      I would say statistics, but only if you can become really good at Python programming and R programming, as well as SQL. If you are weak in programming, then I would say accounting. This video thinks you will be "crunching numbers on a spreadsheet." In fact you may never use a spreadsheet and you will need to develop your own algorithms instead.
