The majority of those jobs will be in app creation to look for pattern seeking and crunching knowledge.<\/p>\n<h2>The Future<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s sometimes hard to remember, but Big Data has moved to its current position of prominence over just five years. Burtch Works, an employment agency, currently say they have 120 positions in the field to fill and the starting salaries range between $97K-$152K \u2013 but managers in these fields got up to $240K and in most cases, they are newly created jobs. This trend for data scientists mimics the trend for digital specialists that happened earlier at the turn of the millennium.<\/p>\n<p>Many of those who have been filling the positions for data science began their careers as statisticians and data miners. Previous job descriptions were often as programmers, consultants, and systems analysts, outside of their job titles they were likely called geeks, and until Big Data became a \u201cthing\u201d on the IoT, no one wanted to pay big dollars for a geek\u2019s statistics. But it\u2019s a different story now; those geeks have become the rock stars of marketing and PR.<\/p>\n<h2>Tools and Understanding<\/h2>\n<p>Though the use of search engines like Google has helped in the early stages of data science efforts for many companies, it goes well beyond that skill for specialists using computing power, educated choices about more than one software language, and cutting-edge hardware. Making sense of the data and applying statistical and economic tools are also necessary skills. Once the data is compiled, then asking the right questions becomes necessary to make use of the information. And specialists have to be savvy enough to know if the data collected is accurate \u2013 it\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just about those impressive geek skills either. The leader of Burtch Works, Linda Burtch, says business acumen plays a big part too, especially for those working in the marketing and PR side of data. She said: \u201cIt\u2019s so critical because a lot of quantitative candidates get so wrapped up in the elegance of the analytics that they forget that they\u2019re answering business problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cardinalpath.com offers webinars, free training, and more for those who want to pick up more tips of the trade as data scientists in the marketing field. They also offer forecast and survey results.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. John H. Johnson, author of <em>Everydata: The Misinformation Hidden in the Little Data you Consume Each Day,<\/em> said: \u201cIf you can build up some basic intuition and logic about how to work with data, you know there are all sorts of people who are essentially citizen data scientists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you are inclined to this kind of job trajectory, don\u2019t wait, start learning all you can and use that knowledge to further your education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More and more job listings for both\u00a0technology PR\u00a0and marketing are asking for experience
