Jai’s Answer
Yes, it is a great career option. However, you need to be self-aware of your interest to make sure that math and statistics interest you. If not, then I would not advise you to make it your carer option, because you may get bored and find yourself dragging to it. So go by your passion and interest. Good luck!
Great, thank you Jai for your reply and good wishes.

Hi Emmanuel,
Yes! This will be a career that will be in demand for decades to come. Just remember that before it was popularized as data science, statisticians did similar (if not the same) tasks and they were in demand for the past hundred years.
Wish you the best of luck!
