I’ve been very surprised how rare good data analysis skills are in industry, even among those trained in technical disciplines.

Scientists are groomed to perform in-depth data analysis well because it is a critical part of figuring out how nature works, and this is the fundamental goal of science. This positions people trained in science to bring a very useful and rather rare skill set to industry.

Keep this in mind as you sell yourself and design your career.
