Is data analyst seen as a ‘professional’ career?

I am a data analyst and i feel like i’m in a non-grad dumb people’s role. Is data analyst seen as a prestigious job like a lawyer, accountant or doctor, or is it seen as more like an admin/loser job?

Thanks.

As a professional career, data analysis requires specialized knowledge, skills, and training. Data analysts need to be proficient in data management, statistical analysis, and data visualization, among other things. They also need to have strong communication skills in order to present their findings to others in an understandable way.

Doesn’t feel that from where i am! Salary progression and training and development has been so slow. Probably should have trained as an actuary or actuarial analyst or something. Or maybe a software developer. I feel like data analyst is an inferior role to those :frown:

What kind of statistical analysis. I’ve not done anything more than simple arithmetic mean. Can’t think of any other techniques i can use. Any suggestions?
