    career in stats



    hi,
    i m frustrated. i have post graduation degree in stats long back (in 1994 ) and have industrial experience of 17 years where I have used stats at minimum.But now I am impatient to start career in stats but seems that I am lagging behind new generation in terms of skills required for job in stats.But I am determined to bounce back.Kindly guide me and tell me in which topics of stats should I focus .Also let me know which software/languages will help me to get there.
    regards
    Parag

    It depends on what you'll be doing with stats. Statistics is a large field with MANY subfields. For some people the only thing they ever need to worry about is time series analysis. I never deal with time series so that's not an issue for me. If you could describe what you want to do we could give better guidance.
