It means that science are linking each other using statistics as a grammar to create perfect knowledge. A person who mastered statistics called statistician. A statistician is the most influential jobs in three reasons. The first reason is statistics related to other studies. Statistics connected with economics, demography, sociology, biology, etc. For example, a statistician in biology is called biostatistician. In 19th centuries, Karl Pearson researched about natural selection concept using statistics method, so he was called biostatistician. In the other side, a statistics related to demography in the record of births, deaths, marriages, immigration and emigration and a regular census of the population provides information that is key to making decisions. In addition, in economics, statistics used to calculate gross domestic product precisely. A second reason is a statistician provide official statistics for public policies planning. Statistics is the first thing that looked by the government when they make a public policy. For example, the government must consider the birth/mortality rate statistic if they want to make antenatal policy and population projection to avoid under/overestimated. In addition, the government must consider the inflation rate if they want to set the state budget. Moreover, poverty alleviation needs the social-economy statistic to formulating the policies. All of the public policies need statistic and all of these was made by the statistician. The final reason is the demand of statisticians is increased because of the big data era. According to John Acred, founder and CTO of Silicon Valley Data Science, Big Data refers to a combination of an approach to informing decision making with analytical insight derived from data, and a set of enabling technologies that enable that insight to be economically derived from at times very large, diverse sources of data. The companies begin to looking the use of the statistic to improve their business. Based on a report by Accenture, career consulting company, 89% believe that companies without statistician (big data analytics) in the next year will lose the market share and will not competitive. Furthermore, the companies spending more than 20% of their technology budget on big data analytics. Based on economic principle, if demand increases the price of statistician will increase too. To sum up, in this big data era, being statistician is the most prominent jobs. Without well-qualified statisticians, the targets of development policy will not appropriate with the real condition. Therefore, all of the academicians or practitioners, wherever its job, must understand statistics to encourage his/her career.
