"I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians. People think Iâ€™m joking, but who wouldâ€™ve guessed that computer engineers wouldâ€™ve been the sexy job of the 1990s? The ability to take dataâ€”to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate itâ€”thatâ€™s going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades..." if Hal Varian, Googleâ€™s chief economist says so, it is certainly true ;-)
