Day in the Life
 Statisticians
usually work regular hours in comfortable offices. Some statisticians
travel to provide advice on research projects, supervise and set up
surveys, or gather statistical data. While advanced communications
devices such as e-mail and teleconferencing are making it easier for
statisticians to work with clients in different areas, there still are
situations that require the statistician to be present, such as during
meetings or while gathering data. Some in this occupation may have
duties that vary widely, such as designing experiments or performing
fieldwork in various communities. Statisticians who work in academia
generally have a mix of teaching and research responsibilities.
