Statistics
by Cecelia Zhen
It seems that our every day lives are involved with statistics. We cannot make economic, social, political and military decisions with statistical techniques, such as the experience of designing a new drug. Statistics is the scientific application of mathematical principles to the collection, analysis, and presentation of numerical data. Statisticians contribute to scientific inquiry by applying their mathematical and statistical knowledge to the design of surveys and experiments; the collection, processing, and analysis of data; and the interpretation of the results. Statisticians may apply their knowledge of statistical methods to a variety of subject areas, such as biology, economics, engineering, medicine, public health, psychology, marketing, education, and sports.

Psychologists may work with people who had survived extreme abuse and trauma, and are struggling with depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Psychology is a competitive field to enter, but employment keeps growing due to increased demand for the practice.
