Intro to probability experience is so relatable 😭 I HAD no choice but to take this course with a horrible professor to this day i still remember how miserable i felt because of him
Thanks for replying 😊 I don't have anything in particular I need answered right now, but I'll be sure to reach out for any future doubts! Thanks again!
What would you say are the most essential courses to have taken in undergrad outside of Statistics, to be able to be admitted into a Statistics master's degree?
@@ChristianGardner I just realized I worded it very wrong. I meant that for someone who is not studying Statistics or a very quantitative field for undergraduate studies, what would be the most essential courses or classes to take?
@@Peter-tr7gg no problem! I’d likely say intro statistics is most important as well as Atleast the first two calculus courses, maybe an introductory course in statistical modeling
😂 I never met anyone who had a good linear algebra teacher. Even my textbook was bad. Instead of normal numbered chapters, they used acronyms for every section.
Hey boss man got a question for you, I’m currently pursuing actuarial science and wanted to hear from you on how you felt while doing it. I’m aware that you ended up changing to stat, but what was the main driving factor behind that? Was it the tests? Or fear of automation? (I feel like this career is in the same area as stat, I don’t think automation is anything to be worried about) just wanted to hear your thoughts! Hope you have a wonderful day!
It was the exams 😂 I didn’t feel like taking 7 or whatever it is exams to be officially accredited.. I work with actuaries now in their 30’s still studying their butts off for exams
@@ChristianGardner that’s definitely valid, I was just curious of what your outlook was. I’m currently in my second year and love data science as a whole so actuarial science is an enjoyable experience for me, but the tests are a bit daunting I won’t lie 😮💨😅
@@ChristianGardner thank you for your response, it was something I was internally struggling with a bit 😅 data science seems to be a great field in general and I’m glad you’re thriving!
Hello, man. In statistics, is optimization theory needed as a prerequisite for either ANOVA, regression, stochastic modeling or time series? and by optimization theory I mean the actual course called optimization theory that uses a bunch of lenar algebra, not the caulculus concepts of setting derivatives equal to zero to find the critical points and Lagrange multipliers. Do you think Im gonna need it?
Yes, there are jobs in the social sciences. I did an BS+MS in Applied Math and got a job as a Data Analyst at an R1 research university that paid 75k in 2021 and 95k in 2023 after a promotion. Not as much money as at a top tier company but the work environment is way more chill.
A lot of things and really depends on where you want to go with it … computer science, any scientific discipline, math, data science, social science, economics/finance, you name it
@@ChristianGardner probably I wasn't paying attention then. Do u work in health care? How much analyses do you do. Or you just describe the data. Basically getting data from SQL and creating descriptive dashboards?
@@ChristianGardner you could had gone through health care analytics with a health information management degree. Way less math haha. But they trained u in medical classification, information systems for health care and the analytics part of it. Which is SQL and data analysis. Obviously they won't go as deep as a statistics major in the analysis I think is just the intro to stats component that they take.
@@ukoni8667 I do some of both, sometimes I am doing a real analysis and going in depth and using statistical concepts.. sometimes I’m creating dashboards.. sometimes I’m just pulling data using SQL

Amen
Hi, I think that a video where you show the main differences between data analyst and data scientist would be very interesting
Good idea!
Thaaankuuu sm! I start college next fall and this was very informative 😊
I’m glad it helped.. do you have any other questions you need answered before you begin?
Thanks for replying 😊 I don't have anything in particular I need answered right now, but I'll be sure to reach out for any future doubts! Thanks again!
More information on the self-projects please

What do you mean outside of statistics? Like adjacent but not necessarily a “Statistics” course?

But if that doesn’t bother you, both are good career options

@@Blooeau I’m a data analyst, not a data scientist btw ^
Have you ever taken a real analysis course and a measure theory one?
No I didn’t

I wouldn’t think so, I didn’t take a course like that
any info on statistics and social sciences? jobs etc
Maybe a research position? Not sure honestly

What a good minor for stats major?
A lot of things and really depends on where you want to go with it … computer science, any scientific discipline, math, data science, social science, economics/finance, you name it
@@ChristianGardner what you recommend if I aiming for data analyst job?
@@ChristianGardner thanks Btw
@@trytalktomek MIS unless you know what industry you want to work in (if you want to work in health care maybe you could minor in public healthcare)
hey can i know more about your self-project
What do you want to know
what specific data were you looking at and can you share to me your all your researches@@ChristianGardner
U missed people that work with geospatial data. And health care data. Which they need medical classification knowledge
Where did I miss them
I work in health insurance so I for sure didn’t miss anything there 😉

81 minutes and 20 seconds😠
Oh 💩 I forgot to update the title after I edited the video 😂 thanks for pointing that out
