What is the “most promising job” in 2019 according to Tech Republic? If you answered “data scientist,” you’d be correct. The field saw a 56 percent increase in job openings in the U.S. over the past year. What’s more, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts businesses will create 11.5 million jobs in the data science/analytics area by 2026. Given this trend, it should come as no surprise that higher ed donors, ranging from alumni to institutional funders, are digging deep for university initiatives in this area.
