A statistician’s work with data ranges from planning its collection to analysis and interpretation. There are excellent prospects in business, industry, government and medicine for graduates who can apply mathematics and statistics to real world problems. As modern technology allows statisticians to deal with very large volumes of data, the importance of these well paid professionals is increasing steadily.
