統計是一個tool, a good one to solve problems
所以你要找一個application area, where you can apply this tool to solve their problem.
what's application area you are most close to then?
common one includes: economics and finance (econometrics & quant fina), biomedial (biostat & related), social science research, marketing and business analytics, and etc.......
this should be indeed a question you have to think about when you choose where and which master to study...
要不也可看看閣下本科主修或是副修了甚麼,
如果是business,
economics & finance,
或是social science之類的話
那interveiw有多一點可以說
如果是mathematics的話, 就是一個prefect background preparation for PhD in statistics.
對自己的application area有一個大概的方向之後,
看些許有關的書/whatever, 直接申便是.
Statistics major很多時候是on the list of many job ad but with different kind of major.
只要stat major的可能只有政府cenus and stat department之類
