Is Biostatistics a good field to pursue higher studies in?

Answer 1

Biostatisticians with advanced degrees can look forward to excellent career opportunities in government, industry, and academia. The shortage of biostatisticians is noted in The Seventh Report to the President and Congress on the Status of Health Personnel in the United States and Objectives for the Nation.

Job prospects for new Masters and PhD graduates in biostatistics are excellent. Typical starting salaries range from $35,000 to $65,000 for Master's degrees and from $55,000 to $85,000 for PhD degrees.

Answer 2

Yeah, but a better field would definitely be Bioinformatics.
