Can I become a statician without a degree in Math?


Any reference material to become a statician without earning a degree in the subject?

Odds are against it.

I don't think most "data scientists" don't have degrees in statistics, and they are essentially applied statisticians.

for what use case exactly?

good enough to enjoy a hobby?

good enough to get employed?

good enough to get into faang?

i think a better question is to ask what reference materials to study on.

To do statistical analysis Yes. To develop statistical software or novel statistical methods No.

Statistician?

Technically yes of course .. what are you really asking?
