I'm really stuck I'm currently a data science beginner with a bachelors in BioChem and I'm really interested in biostatistics and pursuing biostatistics master's but I'm scared. Will I be able to make it in the field? Will the work be fulfilling? Should I rather invest in transitioning to more high paying industries like Data engineering??
I think I am actually Interested in the biostatistics field, but I feel like I'm looking for a sign, I'm undecided. How do I know it's really for me?
Hi Osayame. My advice to you would be to try to contact a statistician at your university and chat with them about what they do. They would be the most direct source to understanding what statisticians do day-to-day. If it still sounds interesting, then it's worth a shot, but getting an MS has its own costs that you'll have to weigh.
As a last thing, I think statisticians get compensated rather well, for what that's worth lol.

Thank you so much for taking time to answer and your response makes lot of sense. I'll try it out.
I'm all for being compensated for a job well done : )
