Have a better recommendation for these 6? List them in the comments below!
Wasn’t Chandler a Statistician? I think he should be a statistics major.
I agree. He has to have a financial/mathematics degree to do what he did for the first 7+ seasons. Maybe he preferred the marketing degree, but his actual degree would be a background of mathematics, in order to be hired at the firms he worked at.
Anthony, I agree he was a Statistician for most of the show. But he frequently said how much he hated his job. When he went to Advertising job after that, he did a lot of different things plus his skills as a statistician, so I though Marketing would be best since he is well rounded in many different key skills. Maybe if he was a Statistician Major, he would have understood and liked his job better!?!?!?
Don’t think so, maybe he chose his major due to family pressure. The same reason he was doing the job cause you need to study to be a statistan.
