I'm graduating with a BS in Statistics in less than 1 year now, and lets face it. Every statistician job out there right now either requires tons of experience or a masters degree. What type of jobs could I seek that will allow me to move away from home and start a career?

I graduated from college with a bachelors of mathematics in spring of 06 and last year I taught as a high school teacher. I want to explore other career options but I am having trouble finding the right fit. I do not have a drivers lisencse so a job requireing internal travel is not an option for me at this point. Where can I go to find jobs with so little experience, no driving experience, a bachelors in math, and decent enough pay to make a living. (I am thinking about 35k a year or more).

The job that statisticians/ demographers do interests me a lot, especially the social aspect of it (like calculating the unemployment rate, the amount of people who support a law, population growth, etc.). However, I have no clue what sort of internships I should be looking for that would give me an idea of the actual work environment and everything. Where do I concentrate my research on? What titles or positions do I look for?
2 answers - Asked By: fjs3102 - 3/8/2013
I'm thinking of either that or environmental studies. Environmental studies interests me more, but I don't think I could get a job with it.
