OK. I guess working with SAS is too advanced for me regardless whether it will or will not be phased out. I will be focusing on Excel/access, R and Python for the next few months. Matlab and Julia = likely in early 2017 Thanks again jedishrfu

DrDu and jedishrfu thanks for your input. I am obviously a newbie. So you're saying SAS will become extinct and eventually no longer in use? If so, in how many years?

Thanks for contributing everyone... I am still undecided whether to get directly my MS Or do the BA then apply to the MS. I think the deciding factor rests on whether my future potential employers will ask for my transcripts. If they do, having the BA will prove profound education in math and...

I already figured out what the requirements for the MS are. There is a minimum of 7 classes they require to demonstrate proficiency in math. No explicit mention of an undergraduate degree in math. As for jobs, I have brainstormed a list that include but not limited to actuary, operation...
