8/17 Been looking for a job. What the heck is a "data modeler"? Why
do they have kick ass salary?
\_ Those are the women who pose on the covers of computer game
magazines. Data modeling can be demanding work, but at
$10K a photo shoot, it's very rewarding.
\_ I think it has something to do with 3D modeling, not sure though
\_ "I don't know the answer, but I'll answer you anyway"
A data modeler designs database relations and normalizes them.
It's basically a glorified file clerk. -tom
\_ Sounds easy. How do you explain the 100K+/yr salary?
\_ He can't because as usual tom has no clue wtf he's
talking about but he'll try anyway.
\_ gee I didn't know we had data modelers with inferiority
complexes on soda. Tell me, how many Oracle installations
do you run? -tom
\-saying someone who does data modelling is a glorified
file clerk is like saying someone who is an astronomer is some-
one who counts stars. a fair amount of intelligence and
crativity can go into modelling. if you cant tell the diff
between modeling and recordkeeping, i suppose that makes you
a not very glofied dumbass. file clerks dont know much about
ponteitially sophisicated statistical techniques, error
analysis, botstrapping data, testing models, or the science
underlying the real world phonomena being modeled. both of the
people i know who self descibe themselves as data jockeys have
science phd from major research universites [they are both
pretty hot too, but that's a different thread]. --psb
\_ too bad they didn't find something more interesting to
do with their lives, then. -tom
\-like running installing oracle over and over?
\_ phb is just unhappy that the new garmin he bought
didn't impress those data modelling chicks. |
