Your post was really informative. I just graduated with an MS in Operations Research with thesis in Statistical process control.
Super skills in Statistics, Simulation, Optimization, programming…. But difficult to get an Operations Research job without PhD.
So, planning to switch to IT. Again the same question: Analytics or Intelligence.
Long term plan is to get into Corporate planning dept, ideally an Airlines Company.

Thanks for your comments (though the Babylon 5 reference was a little worrying!).

ROTFL – Bloody brilliant!

Although not sure if you’re going to get the happy ending you wrote about – we live in the real (i.e, competitive) world; maybe the picture should have each can twisting the knife in each others’ backs.

“BI vs BA?” Undecided whether one is a subset of the other, or the other way around, or different areas with some overlap, or are we trying to be too purist about the whole thing. (e.g, “Star Wars” vs “Star Trek” when we all know it’s really “Babylon 5″. And no, I’m not just another geek!)

Besides, any opinion you or I (or others) have will be met be equally vocal alternate opinions.

(Another $64k question..)

Do we let the business decide? (Should we help them decide? Here we go again..)

Enjoying your posts. Where do find the time to get any work done?!?

Cheers.
