Analysis and accountancy have very similar job descriptions. Accountants look at the facts and figures involving money and use the data at their disposal to come up with solutions. Analysts do very much the same kind of thing. They might do it with data. They might do it with efficient work practices. They might do it with customer retention. If you have a good problem-solving head on you, then analysis might be the career for you. In fact, it’s been a popular choice amongst students of the sciences who decided not to work in the field they initially chose.
