minn_stat, what kind of work do you do?
I've jumped around a bit in my career. My first position out of school ended up being basically a SAS programmer/architect, although they had told me the position would be more than that. I did do some stats, and a lot of BI-type stuff, and waited patiently for what was promised, but eventually decided to leave.

So I left for the warmer climes of MN, where I provided the statistical support for the finance department of a Fortune 100 company. One of my primary responsibilities was working with financial forecasting models of various sorts.

About a year ago, a friend gave my name to a healthcare organization here in MN. They contacted me, I listened, and I eventually took their offer to provide statistical support to their marketing department. Segmentation, conjoint analysis, customer satisfaction surveys, that sort of thing.

So I'm a bit of a "jack of all trades, master of none" when it comes to statistics.
