Thinking About a Career in Statistics: What Does the Industry Expect You to Know?


Abstract


There are several different paths students can take after graduating with a Masters degree in Statistics. Some choose to go into the ever-popular field of bio-statistics, while others pursue the business and consulting world.

As some of us finish your first year in school, while others end their Master's degrees, it is important to focus on both long and short term goals surrounding our future profession. The speaker will try and provide some insight into things we should be aware about as we enter the working world.

No matter what discipline we choose to enter, the industry, in general, has some basic expectations of students graduating with statistics degrees. This talk will highlight some of these expectations while providing some guidance around things students can do to meet these expectations.
