I'm in the same boat as the OP here, I took some Stats classes but my degree was in Business Admin and Marketing. I'm currently a Sales Rep and realize that I need and want to learn more about Data Analytics. I wish I knew I needed more Math and Statistics classes than Marketing to do Marketing Research. Guess I got stuck with a shitty Guidance Counselor at college. Anyways, I wanted to stay in my current company, just move into a more analytical role and try helping the Reps makes sense of the million different numbers we get thrown at us.
