Rapid advancements in computer processing technology are enabling government, businesses, and individuals to generate more data than ever. And as this data grows to record levels on a daily basis, experts say the role of data scientist will be one of the fastest-growing professions in the coming years.
A report from IBM Marketing Cloud said 90 percent of the world's data was generated in the past two years alone and more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is now generated per year.
IBM said demand for data scientists will rise by more than 28 percent between now and 2020 when there will be more than 2.7 million people working in the field. These advertised data scientist jobs pay an annual average salary of $105,000, and often more for candidates with a few years of experience.
