Does anyone here have a masters/working on a masters in statistics? I'm currently working on a bachelors in economics/minor in statistics at one of the top public universities in the country, and statistics has always fascinated me.
Unfortunately there isn't a bachelors program for stat, or else I would be doing that. But from what I've found, statistics related jobs are expected to increase by 34% between now and 2024, according to the BLS, with a pretty high starting salary(~$75k). The majority of the jobs require a masters though.
Would it be worth the debt? I'm not sure what the total cost is going to be, but I'm thinking about TA'ing to offset the cost if I get accepted.
Fortunately, my undergrad is paid for, but I wanted to see if anyone here can verify the starting salary and tell me what to expect with the whole masters program in general, before I decide to take the plunge in a year and a half or so. Also, if its not too much trouble, could you tell me what exactly it is that you do(academia, insurance, finance, etc.)?
Thanks for any input.

msc in statistics sounds mindboggingly boring
