I am a finance major, and i was rather interested in econometrics and statistics. I want to pursuit a master in statistics. I know it has application in finance, but can i get a job as statistician afterwards? (i dont say i want to, just my options)
Can i be competitive to 1- people with bachelor in statistics, 2- people bachelor AND master in statistics?
I think MS stats is in demand in finance, analytics, data science. Yes I think as long as you have the MS it doesn’t matter if you have BS in exact same field.
Yes, you don’t need the undergrad degree in stats, but you need enough undergrad stats and math courses to be able to get into the masters program in stats. Finance plus stats is good. Good job opportunities.
