I had a question regarding your comment "maybe even a Math PhD with a concentration/grad minor in stats or and MS in Stats". How practical is it to do a PhD in Applied Mathematics and become a statistician? If one were to go the route of PhD in Applied Math would they be more employable in industry rather than just the PhD in Stats? I guess along the same lines as your emphasis on not doing a PhD in Biostats, because you can do it with a Stats PhD. I ask because I am interested in Stats PhD but am wondering if Applied Math isn't more practical.
Thanks in advance!
