Subject: What next after M.Sc.(Statistics)
Date: 9-Mar-2002
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am in a big dilemma whether to go for a MBA in finance or not. I have completed my M.Sc. in statistics and interested in working in MNCs but I dont know where to apply since nowadays evrywhere there are telemarketting jobs and sales executives but i am interested in my field of statistics. I know about the Govt. sector where I can go for ISS but its very tough and its difficult to clear in the first time. I am not interested in furthur studies but if I have to do anything to get a suitable job, what should I join. Do we have any future prospects in field of statistics in India. Please give me some information so that I can decide correctly about my future.
Answer: The world is going through a recession. Companies are thrusting on cost effective ways to sell their products. Tele marketing, marketing over the web etc is the in thing.

If you are not the 'sales person' type, do not even dare to go that way.

Why don't you look at Quality as you line of career. Statistics is widely used in Quality analysis. You may like to read about the ISO standards and decide if those things interest you. All companies have MIS and they largely use data analysis for corporate planning. Plenty of scope that side.

Any additional qualification in that direction should be useful. Institutes dedicated to quality such as QAI may help you understand quality career better.

Your counsel.
