Given a Master Degree in Statistics you can get just about any entry level job in business, government or research that you go after.
It is not so much the subject matter as it is the fact that by getting a MBA or MS you prove you are:
1) Capable of sticking to something for an extended period of time
2) Smart enough to pass the course work
3) A person who can learn quickly
4) A person who can do work on time.
All of these attributes will get you a good job in what ever you want to do.
Most jobs do not need your extended capability in the subject matter of probability and statistics. I know, I got a MS Industrial Engineering with a focus on Operations Research. I used my OR in several jobs and then go into management quickly.
Best, of luck in your career.
Dah dude

Where were you when you decided to get a masters in statistics? Check out where your buddies in college in your major have gone.
I think you may be able to work in a Center For Disease Control Statistic Office. There maybe one in Georgia or Florida. My mom had a friend who was into statistics and she worked in some kind of office like that.

1.bioinfomatics uses statistics for projection of disease trends and occurances.2. Stochastics or financial engineering helps develop alogrithims for the stock market and fnancial institutions. actuarial science deals with insurance tables and projections of life, death and disability. there are very few actuaries in the us. 4. Public health deals with epidemology (greek: upon the population) and is like a detective, mathematically and anthropologically tracking down the first carriers of a disease: for example finding the first transfer of disease, aids, that jumped from green africian monkeys to humans. Also it aided, although not totally responsible for tracking patient one, a airline steward, i believe from Pam Am who carried it through sexual contact to the usa.5. Advanced psychometrics, the science of testing, helps deduct the iq, interest and apptitude scores of gifted and vocatonal students. It can be used in future studies for projection of future trends and for public surveys and for politcal tracking.
Statistics is a branch of math, but not all statisticians are pure mathematicians. Look for the dictionary of occupational titles for a defination.

You could work for a company that does market research - it's all about the numbers, regression, etc. They do this inhouse at places like Procter and Gamble, Colgate-palmolive and independently at places like Nielson (as in the ratings giant) and Arbitron.

Life insurance companies? Government census bureau? Banking? I don't know the potential seems great, why aren't you asking your graduate school placement office? Or someone else in your personal network?

You could become an actuary, or work for a polling company, or the gaming industry.
