• master's degree holders usually have just as much theoretical depth, better programming skills, and are more pliable and can be trained for their company's specific tasks
• when someone has dedicated tons of time to a particular machine learning paradigm, they have a hard time generalizing their productivity to other domains
• a lot of machine learning jobs these days are all about getting things done, and not so much about writing papers or developing new methods
• you might not get something that practitioners will care about
• you'll be paid basically just as well as someone with a PhD

• still remember details of projects going back decades
• Programming is not about writing lines of code, it's about completing projects or shipping applications

• machine learning initiates expect to get rich and statistical initiates expect to get yelled at
• stereotype machine learning examples
• identifiable theme that all of the data is before us and it is just a matter of finding its secrets
• find the right combination or transformation
• Statisticians, on the other hand, have very good descriptions of what often goes wrong in even observing simple data
• Error/Noise
• test if variables are reliable and test to what extent they remain useful after adding more variables
• The statistician tends to use sophisticated methods to validate and repair data, not to decode complex hidden relations
• are you more worried about functional form (so you should look to machine learning) or issues of measurement (so you should look to statistics)
