Abstract:
|
At JSM 2006 I met people who were academically poised for a career as a MS statistician but were faced with common practical concerns: (1) which field of application to choose, (2) how to maintain a mid-career salary when taking their first job as a MS statistician, and (3) whether to continue their education or seek employment. This presentation will focus on the benefits of ASA membership for MS statisticians who are new to the field of statistics.
