How would you feel if you were 24 and in my shoes?

<p>find the nearest cliff or tall building, and jump off while others are watching, at least you will have a chance at making the local news</p>

<p>People with bachelor’s degrees in statistics can get jobs doing SAS programming at drug companies, for example. (SAS programming is a type of statistical programming.) When bachelor’s level statisticians work in research environments, they work under Master’s and Ph.D. level statisticians, with job titles that designate them as a statistical programmer or an analyst, something like that. </p>

<p>Working independently as a statistician, where your job title is Statistician and where you answer people’s statistical questions and show them how to design and power their studies and then you analyze the data when the study is done? I think that generally speaking you either need either years of experience or an advanced degree. </p>

<p>Here is a nice list of current job openings for statisticians.

<p>I am wondering what the statistics professors at the OP’s college told the OP to do for a job, and if they told him he could get a job as a statistician with a bachelor’s degree in statistics.</p>

<p>You could join the military. They’d put you in something doing statistics stuff if you didnt wanna go the academic route and get a masters/phD or whatever.</p>

<p>I am so tempted to bump up an old PMVD thread. Wasn’t he also a math major…?</p>

<p>Bluejj have you ever tried going into the teaching field with your degree, until you can further notice?</p>

<p>Not really. What’s the point of doing that? I’d probably end up teaching geometry to bunch of spoiled brats. I might as well continue doing what I am doing until a better opportunity comes up.</p>
