I recently completed a PhD in the social sciences with a heavily quantitative focus in my research. During the PhD I realized my true calling is in statistics with a focus on methodology. So I decided not to pursue a career in my PhD field and am instead looking to go back to university and retrain to become a professional statistician. However, I did not take any mathematics courses at university so I cannot jump into a masters degree right away and may have to do a sequence of undergraduate units first.
What course sequence would you recommend I undertake so that I could become a professional statistician capable of independent research on statistical methodology and theory?
If anyone here has been in a similar situation transitioning into a statistics career after a PhD in another field, I'd love to hear about your experiences.
Thanks, and hello everybody, this is my first post on the Talk Stats forum. :wave:
