Between the technology we rely on to manage our finances, medical records, and social lives and the information compiled by scientific research labs—we live in an increasingly data-driven world. Information collected every time someone visits a website or experiences a positive outcome during a clinical drug trial is parsed through data analysis. Many businesses rely on conclusions drawn by data analysts to help advise pivotal decisions and create more effective advertising.
However, to transform data into actionable information, Data Analysts must first gather and organize the data into spreadsheets. They then use their statistics, mathematics, and computer science background to reach a valid conclusion. In addition, industry-specific knowledge such as an understanding of medical lab testing, is crucial in helping Analysts reach conclusions.
Every field and industry has data that must be analyzed, enabling Data Analysts to specialize in areas that best align with their passions. Data Analysts are in high demand and likely to make a comfortable living for as long as they’re in the business.
