Double your salary: call what you do "science", not "analysis".

  Maybe, but double it again by calling it "analytics".

    Can someone explain the affront to your sensibilities that is caused when one of our own (technologists) finds new ways to make money, rebrand and evolve a given subject area or just generally find new, better ways of explaining a thing? ...I'm baffled at the sarc and outrage every time something like this comes up. Data analyst is a massively broad term that could be anyone from a junior ad-hoc SQL script writer to a guy who sits on a DWH generating leads using complex models and algorithms. There is a need to distinguish these things from one another and the new definitions and tags are trying to suffice this need... what's your boggle?

      No outrage, sarc, or boggle in my comment. New names are all good if they name new concepts. But new names for old things just sound like buzzwords.
