For statistician, you can try investment banking but the pay is so so compared if you're a broker or an investment analyst. For insurance its the same, they pay higher for someone specialising in actuarial science. Statistic on itself is just so - so, its the business skills, sales and marketing experience than will get you into the big money. We use statisticians on oil and gas as well, but to do economic modelling he / she must be good in business economics modelling. So it depends on the industry, the business exposure and you cousins aptituted and character. If just want to count don't want to do business modelling and business presentation... cukup makan only la.

Again that depends on the industry, for banking you go through the normal Management Trainee course and you get paid RM2.5 - 3.5K depending on bank, if tobacco industry MT gets RM3.5K easy but no everyone wants to be associated to the tobacco industry (my dad was from there and they pay as good as the oil indusrty that I'm in) For oil and gas, it's the same as banks in the beginning but with better career progression if you're a stellar performer. However OnG does direct recruitment from the Uni for entry level post. They seldom advertise.
