[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a traditional statistician and have a Ph.D. from a prestigious university. I'm in my 40s and work in federal contracting analyzing healthcare data, a lot of regression modeling, observational studies, etc. I fear my time is limited. I have experienced the same frustrations with all of the "data science" and "data analytics" jobs. There is no doubt in my mind that, given my strong foundations, I can read about machine learning and apply it to customer data better than the 25 year old with a business degree who got a Google Analytics certificate. I'm also very frustrated by all of the jobs that require years of experience with the content (e.g., banking, insurance, credit cards, etc.). Also, in my current industries, roles such as programming to extract and process data, conceptualizing and conducting analysis, and creating the visualizations are more separate whereas in private industry they seem to be looking for someone who can do it all, and I'm not sure how well any person can do all of those things.
