But would it be cheaper/worth it in the long run? I believe that the yearly total financial aid that Africa receives(not counting admin costs) is around $60 billion USD or so. The costs of military intervention would probably run into the trillions.

That's pretty steep, and there's no guarantee that it would work well, especially because a bunch of fuckwits would get butthurt and call it slavery or neo-colonialism or some bullshit.

Does anyone here have a masters/working on a masters in statistics? I'm currently working on a bachelors in economics/minor in statistics at one of the top public universities in the country, and statistics has always fascinated me.

Unfortunately there isn't a bachelors program for stat, or else I would be doing that. But from what I've found, statistics related jobs are expected to increase by 34% between now and 2024, according to the BLS, with a pretty high starting salary(~$75k). The majority of the jobs require a masters though.

Would it be worth the debt? I'm not sure what the total cost is going to be, but I'm thinking about TA'ing to offset the cost if I get accepted.

Fortunately, my undergrad is paid for, but I wanted to see if anyone here can verify the starting salary and tell me what to expect with the whole masters program in general, before I decide to take the plunge in a year and a half or so. Also, if its not too much trouble, could you tell me what exactly it is that you do(academia, insurance, finance, etc.)?

Thanks for any input.
