Cruise ships roll pretty fresh stores wise these days, fishmech. Generally the whole voyage every meal is prepared from fresh. Something like a bulk carrier is a better example.

I work on a drillship. We roll remarkably fresh as well, and we're out for two months at a time. We're probably a bit spoiled though, compared to some.

None od this requires a college degree. The janitor cleaning poo poo off the toilet can be trained to do those tasks. You are not special.

So, basic undergrad data analysis? Because that stuff is fairly simple from a data analysis perspective.

And the application and execution thereof? How do you decide which variables matter the most without data? Where do you get that data? How much are you paying for the data? How do you decide what actions to take, even if there are no conflicting data points? How much extra money does the correct application of the data bring?

That's why you need experience, innovation, and a diverse skillset to do it well.

It isn't that you don't work for the money you get, it's that you have a highly entitled sense of self and think you are somehow above the people busting their rear end to make you more money. You also seem to think you are uniquely qualified and have some special knowledge about this poo poo when really just about anyone can be trained up to do the same tasks.

That's why you need experience, innovation, and a diverse skillset to do it well.

"Experience, innovation and a diverse skillset" are all corporate buzzwords and an introductory statistics course will teach you quite easily how to chose variables (application of proper tests of statistical significance run for each data type) and gathering data (field work, others' field work (for example having front-end employees track what is sold to customers by different sociological variables e.g, age, ethnicity, gender) or buying that data if you are bougie). Tests of statistical significance solve issues of what action to take as they can inform likelihood of success, especially when applied with research from comparable areas. That also solves the final question, as it simply involves waiting to see if the correct application has been chosen, which by relying on previous published research results and your own data analysis you can increase the likelihood of that occurring.

I know that the business world likes to ignore academic social science data and analysis, but we really are pretty good at it for the applications they want. It's why the sellouts who leave trying to understand the world for making profit make bank.

They don't make bank because of any quality of work, they make bank because they give justification to whatever agenda an executive has. Basically nerdy marketers. Millions of impressions!!

That is my take from working at corporate retailers anyway.

The amount of data that can be collected is often hard/expensive to collect, overwhelming in its diversity, conflicting, and in very few ways decisive as to the correct action for the business to take to maximize profits. That simple term of "maximizing profits" is itself beholden to myriad tax laws, time frame, and unknowables. I would :toxx: that you have not had to do this in a business environment where you had free reign to decide what to investigate, or you would be singing a different tune.

The office I work in is going to invoice over a million this year with nothing but 3 guys, 150 sf, 3 cars, and the most basic office hardware.

I can poo poo money if I want to, but I work salaried for a not for profit, because it does a great deal of tangible good in the world. Good business is about building good systems and letting them repeat . It ain't as hard as you think it is. And you aren't special.
