What can ya do with a MS from FSU in population? I finished in 85 and of course this makes me a fossil. I was into
Mapping ( a Geo freak) and mapped Demos on a Mac and did it all whilst working for some think tank at the B school (Florida Economic Development Center), which employed us grad students in the Coll of SOcial Sci...went on to sell Demographic data, and later on software to use it (CRM). Later on ran business units and now I teach Marketing at the MBA level having never taken even an undergrad course in it.
My point to you? The training is not about Demography, itts about how to think inferentially and descriptively and how to be aware of the difference between these data and info. If you are a student who is perhaps not sure WHY you are there...I invite you not to concern yourself..because what you are learning NOW...Will ((promise you) be used later and you do not know how and when, and this is the fun part!
Learn, feel the joy of your youth, turn off the BS about yourself which you may hear from others or even echo to yourself...KNOW you are better than you think you are .
What can one do with an MS from the Pop Center? Life can and will take you directions and you have good problems being young with options, good looks (you have no idea how good looking you are till you look back in 29 years so shut up and enjoy) and the opportunity to study with some of these masters...I had the best...David Sly, WN Serow..Dr Bruce, many conversations with Ike in the hallways.and in the Pop Library, but never in the classroom, but it did not matter, Ike put out everywhere..
There was once a prof Named David Sly who wanted people not to be a wuss and to roll around in the data and learn inductive style....Man he was a pain and MAN, he taught me SO much that I authored Demographic Atlases for the B school..had two books out before I graduated. Dr Sly you SOB< thanks..

CENTER FACULTY HAVE HELPED PRODUCE NUMEROUS PHDS
The Center for Demography and Population Health has long been involved in research, training, and service in the area of population. On the training front, it oversees the Master in Demography program and places those graduates in public and private agencies. Since the Center faculty have appointments in an academic department, they can direct PhD dissertations in those departments and serve on PhD committees in other departments. The record shows that, over fifty years, Center faculty have helped numerous students to earn the doctoral degree and acquire positions in universities and research organizations.
On October 6 and 7, we will honor those faculty and students as we celebrate the Center’s 50th anniversary.
