The second hot job was "Data Scientist"
With the huge amount of data acquired, we get the ideas of data warehousing and data mining. Think of a gold mine of information, where the gold might be so hidden in the ore and rocks and only constitute 1% of the material - but the gold is worth so much, that even 1% of the material will pay for the cleaning of 99% of the materials.
Mining those hidden trends in data, 'nuggets' of valuable information about customers, products, marketing, and more are what a 'data scientist' does. And ... that data might be worth 'its weight in gold' to the company.
The article stated: "data science jobs will require workers with a spectrum of skills, from entry-level data cleaners to the high-level statisticians, yielding a range of opportunities for newcomers to the field. As the business world gets increasingly social, the demand for people to plumb the depths of all that social networking clickstream data will only increase. The cliché going around is that "data is the new oil." A career in refining that raw material sounds like a good bet." And ... I agree!!!
