The general perception of "statisticians" is most often associated with sporting events. The life of a professional statistician, however, is much more varied and interesting than computing the average rushing yards per play. Actually, statistics is the science of learning from data, and all processes generate data. Statisticians determine how to collect and manage this necessary information; they interrogate the data and present the results in a clear fashion so that wise decisions can be made.
Statistics is used in various areas of business, industry, science, and government. The fields of opportunity for statisticians are limitless - i.e., economics, finance, market research, e-commerce, engineering, manufacturing, transportation, education, medicine, psychology, agriculture, computer, and social sciences.
