Data Analytics

There is an unlimited amount of data available in the universe, so those who work in data analytics try to draw conclusions from all that information. They apply algorithms to look for significant correlations and then make inferences about the data in order to make a decision or prove a theory.

Wall Streety gigs, insurance assaying gigs, and healthcare optimization models all drive from data analytics, and pay lucrative contracts to people who have mastered them.

Bottom line: Pay attention in math class.
