If you want to pursue money, then yes both are your best options. Not really a significant difference, you’re just a cog in some billionaires machine extracting your soul for $$$.
Avoid both and Choose to make a difference in people’s lives.
- xwdv 6y agoIt is very difficult to make a positive difference in anyone’s life with his given skills. The best he can do is not actively make anyone else’s life worse, so go with finance, and adopt a shelter animal.
- jghn 6y agoThere are plenty of opportunities for people with their skill set in the realm of biomedical research.
- superhuzza 6y ago>It is very difficult to make a positive difference in anyone’s life with his given skills. Based on what? Anecdotal, but my partner is a data scientist and statistician full-time . She regularly volunteers or contracts her skillset to a range of projects, including medical research and criminal justice. It's very impactful work - some of the research will massively improve people's lives. And there is definitely enough work to mostly focus on those projects if someone wants to.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoCan I ask where she finds these volunteer projects? I have that skill set and that day job and haven't found any volunteer places that make use of specifically the data science/ML/stats. I've looked unsuccessfully a few times.
- superhuzza 6y agoMostly from past colleagues/professors she did research with. Universities are a good place to look as they often have other groups reaching out to them for expertise.
