if u wan to do real big data stuff, most coy are looking for ppl with atleast a master or phd. if the coy are lookin for deg holder, either it means the coy dunno what they are doing and is jus jumping on the bandwagon, OR they r actually jus doing data analysis.

some of u mentioned that "singapore is always slower in terms of implementing these new technologies"... this is true compared to the western countries, we r definitely lacking behind as many industries do not see the advantage of big data yet, and there is always a huge cost barrier for the smaller enterprise even if they wan to get their hands dirty... but Singapore is actually the leading player in South-east Asia (maybe even the entire Asia) in terms of big data.

btw biz analytics is different from big data analytics also. jus google it and u will find a few nice articles highlighting the difference between the 2.
