Who's smarter? Mathematicians or Statisticians

As careers, are they more similar or more different than people say.

I like poking through data sets and dislike the rigor of proof, but I'm turned off by all the normie applications of statistics, so I'm unsure what I should do.

It'd be great if the two fields merged but that is obviously unlikely as far as I can tell.

Thoughts?

Who fucking cares? Stop basing your career on what /sci/ respects and just do what you enjoy and are good at.

Mathematicians are smarter, but statisticians are far more employable.

Don't care; I'm not smart enough to be either. I'm just a wee ole engineer like everyone else, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Data scientist = stats + cs = best job

>>8067420
At the research level statistics is just analysis. I don't think people understand that statistics really is a part of mathematics. Actuarial math and the more applied end of stats tends to be garbage in the eyes of pure math people.

>>8067420
If you think statistics doesn't involve rigorous proofs you're in for a big surprise.
