Statisticians don't just talk about Standard deviations.

That's covered in the second week of high school after you learn about averages.

So... Why would anyone truly hire you, a dabbler in statistics, over a proper statistician?

Why do you want to get paid as a statistician, when you are in fact, not a statistician?

Oh summer child. No one wants your pity.

This whole AMA is.

Analytics is a new fucking buzzword for, you never going to believe it (!!!!!):

Probability and Statistics.

Statisticians have been doing this before big-data was ever realized.

And I would a hire a proper statistician over a goddamn 'data analyst/analytics/anal-something' any day of the week.

These bullshit data-analysts are anyone who couldn't hack an actual statistics degree in college, because you know... math.
