Fixed some grammar and set out the questions a bit. Added education tag.

Tried to make the question more generally applicable and focus less on my particular situation.

| Apr 2, 2012 at 17:53 | comment | added | AttemptedStudent | Fair enough. All the programs I am now considering are in the United States. Some focus on the more applied side and give masters degrees in "applied statistics" while others have more theoretical coursework and grant degrees in "statistics". I'm personally not that intent on working in one industry over another. I have some programming background and know the tech industry a little better than say the genomics or bioinformatics industry. However, I'm primarily looking for a career with interesting problems. | |
| Apr 2, 2012 at 17:42 | comment | added | cardinal | This depends very much on a lot of personal factors, making it hard to give good advice. We don't know what part of the world your programs are from, how focused your interests already are or what they are. The question is stated too broadly to be answered authoritatively, but would be at risk of being closed as too localized if it was geared solely toward giving advice to just one person. I suggest providing some more context, but not making it specific only to your particular case. | |
