Dear Readers, I think my next career should be as an econometrician or statistician (so long as I don’t have to understand math). Right now, the sexiest career in the new decade is said to be in analytics. Thornton May has even written a new book,
The New Know, to be released in late September, which purposes to analyze the analyzer.
According to
The New York Times
, top companies are now willing to pay $125,000 for statisticians in their first year after completing a PhD. I mean you guys are hot! Netflix just paid $1 million prize money for an algorithm that improved its process for recommending movies to users. This contest worked so well that Netflix is working on a second “crowdsourced” contest. Isn’t it great that your skills are now in high demand?
Speaking of those who will graduate to greatness – do you know a student who should be presenting at SAS® Global Forum 2010? The SAS Student Ambassador program can help them get there! Deadline to apply is October 26!
