On average I spend about 35 hours a week on school work.
Statistics has a broad base of real world applications.
And, it's not as closely related to Math as many people think. Kids that are good in Math should at least dabble in Statistics to see if that's where their interest might be. I plan on pursing graduate school after college. On average, about two. I probably write four for every writing class, but I only have a writing class every other semester.
