Ten Reasons to Become a Statistian

1 Estimating parameters is easier than dealing with real life.

2 Statisticians are significant.

3 I always wanted to learn the entire Greek alphabet.

4 The probability a statistician major will get a job is > .9999.

5 If I flunk out I can always transfer to Engineering.

6 We do it with confidence, frequency, and variability.

7 You never have to be right - only close.

8 We're normal and everyone else is skewed.

9 The regression line looks better than the unemployment line.

10 No one knows what we do so we are always right.
