As a data scientist, you dive into data — of course! — to gain business insights, which means you have the opportunity to work at a variety of companies who value their own analytics. And even better, the data science field is growing: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for computer and information research scientists — including data scientists — is projected to grow by at least 19 percent by 2026, making it even easier to snag a position in this industry.
“Computer scientists are likely to enjoy excellent job prospects, because many companies report difficulties finding these highly skilled workers,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics says on its site.
And if that weren’t enough, Data Scientist has been included on Glassdoor’s Best Jobs in America as well as Highest Paying Jobs in America reports, earning an average of $96,116 each year.
