Hal Varian, chief economist at Google, was quoted to have said: “the sexy job in the next 10 years will be statisticians, and I’m not kidding,” (See, .e.g., Steve Lohr’s article For Today’s Graduate, Just One Word: Statistics ) I certainly would not have become a statistician if I did not agree with Hal Varian. When I was in high school, my fourth year Math teacher Mr. Irineo David encouraged me to be an actuary. I opted to take a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics degree with concentration in Statistics at De La Salle University, and eventually took graduate studies in Statistics overseas.
