Do you think that gathering and analyzing information about people’s opinions, tastes,

likes, and dislikes sounds interesting? If so, then you should consider a career in market

research. Market research analysts help companies understand what types of products and

services consumers want. They design Internet, telephone, or mail response surveys and

then analyze the data, identify trends, and present their conclusions and

recommendations. Market research analysts must be analytical, creative problem-solvers,

have strong backgrounds in mathematics, and have good written and verbal

communication skills.
