I think statisticians are quite in demand in the finance sector, especially financial modelling or actuarial science. Statistician can even branch out to Operational Research. At the end of the day it depends on individuals and how she carries herself. So finding a high paying job shouldn't be much of a problem IF she knows what she wants to do. However if she just want a job that pays the highest without knowing what she wants... that might be a problem

I think it really depends on yourself more than a "statistic degree". If there is little demand, probably means you just have to really fight for it to be the 1 out of the many that fit the limited demand expectation.

True statistician have little use to malaysia industry... we are still not a fully service or highly skilled market. So might want to continue to branch out to Sg or Hk? I know a friend, a statistician, worked for ING 2 years later in HK. He is probably earning (more than) my monthly salary every week.

So don't give up and keep yourself focus. You will get it in the end.

tata88, please don't take this the wrong. Most of the time the "people that think in such a way" are normally the one hiring you or making the decision. So if you really want that job, you really got to fight for it.

I understand the TS suffering, a Degree in Statistic is no easy matter and to study so far for it and not get a job can quite a big let down. But I can only advice you not to let it affect you, there is a job that is out there waiting for you. You just need to find it. In a matter of time, you WILL find it.
