DID YOU KNOW?

A recent McKinsey study said the US could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills.

That means students who know analytics are highly sought by today's employers.

SAS keeps me current in a field that changes every day. And it gives my students a leg up when they go into the workforce because they can make decisions from a data warehousing or data mining perspective or a data analysis and data quality perspective that they wouldn't have gotten from a regular database class.
