  1. Hi all, I'm in the process of teaching myself a new stats programming language to add to my resume for applying to grad school. Most people have told me to learn R, which is what I'm leaning towards, but I'm wondering how beneficial learning R is for jobs outside of grad school? For instance does anyone have any data on salary differences for people in stats/research fields who are proficient in R vs. people who aren't? Or even salary differences for proficiency in R compared to SAS, SPSS, etc.?
  2. Hi all, I'm a rising senior this year double majoring in Statistics and Psychology. I really love both of these fields and want to pursue doing statistical research in the social sciences in graduate school (specifically masters programs). The only problem is I'm not sure what programs or field would best combine statistics and social science for me. From what I've seen, most psychology/stats programs are about psychometrics which mainly concerns working in the field of education which I have no background in and know very little about. I've taken a class on networks and social network analysis and I'm very very interested in that, but unsure what graduate programs would specialize in that or what kind of career that would lead to. I excelled in my Psychology Research Methods courses and really like doing that kind of research, but there are very few quantitative psychology masters programs. Does anybody have any advice for potential career options and for strong masters programs? Again I'm really interested in applying statistical modeling and methods to study human behavior and population trends. Thanks for your help!
