Old guy here. #getoffmylawn.

this is where education trumps experience. I learned about Monte Carlo methods in grad school (I have a masters in statistics from the dark ages). Some of the underlying principles of statistics and probability are really only learned in school and you need to understand the theory to use them in practice.

I’ll get off my soapbox now.

I think it depends what your ultimate goal is - lead a group at an agency - maybe. lead a group client side - absolutely.

I know plenty of VPs/SVPs both with and without on the agency side. Client side it’s more or less expected (masters or an MBA). it depends how technical you want to be.

the masters doesn’t help until you’re above the manager level. it’s like you need, then put it in your pocket until you become a director.

VP1, would you suggest all analysts do post-grad schooling? I’ve been fighting with myself on trying to decide the best choice. I’m doing great on my career trajectory currently (3 years post graduation and already a manager on a large account after 4 promotions in those 3 years in media) and am being developed so that I learn new skills pretty regularly (currently learning R). So I don’t really know if schooling is my best option. But at the same time, I’m not very strong statistically and know I could learn tons to help me out in the long-run. Couldn’t I still take courses on my own time tho or google around to try to teach myself? Or is there really no replacement for a proper education? Don’t have a mentor currently, so consider yourself my temporary mentor :)
Thanks!

Good Evening My Fellow Christian Educators! I realize it is going to be challenging for me this year...with so many of my students performing below grade level expectations in ELA and MATH and also ensuring that all students follow the COVID Guidelines in the classroom. I still feel hopeful that God will bless me with the knowledge on how to effectively impact each one of those kids. Let's remember to keep all educators lifted in prayer this year.
Have a wonderful school year!!
God Bless All❤️

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
