Dear Aspirants,
I would like to share my industry experience about Statistics.
Statistics is a very nice domain field and as far as numbers are concerned, few students take up Statistics Masters and do a career in statistics.
With ever increasing information and data, there is a need to refine data and information and make it useable for a particular purpose. Here Statisticians are of great help.
Statisticians are very helpful in IT field, Agriculture, Business Analysis, Finance Management, Economic Development, Economic Analysis, Insurance.
The salary for statisticians is also very high and there are also freelance opportunities available.
Best wishe s
