We may or may not realize statistics is a part of our everyday life. From sports data to wellness and environment, several fields rely on gathering and interpreting the data by simple or sophisticated statistical analysis to convert the data into meaningful information for further decision making. Because of this, the demand for statisticians, statistical programmers, and data analysts has been growing and would continue to grow future. The key question remains on how does one decide to consider and pursue a career in these fields? For those of us who are already in this field or someone like me who has started pursuing this career track, what are our responsibilities to encourage others to consider and pursue these careers as it will take lot more that what is being done via digital media etc.? This round table will be a great opportunity to hear others at the table with their specific thoughts and experiences that that want to share as individuals or based on their roles including (but not limited to) ASA or other sponsored activities.
