If you think that is how a significant percentage of data scientists make money then you don’t understand data science. This is a field that a STEM person should do - it is the new engineering.

I'm pretty sure I agree with you. Assuming we are talking SQL Server, C# programming, Server management, database system engineeing etc. Just off hand I would think these jobs are going to multiply like crazy and India will be there to fill the void if we don't.

Are we talking about the same thing?

No, you guys are still not talking the same thing. You are way off. I will let the other guy correct you.

Partially - add massive dose of statistics and R and Python and machine learning to the skills you mentioned and then we might be talking about the same thing.

Indian data scientist works for me actually.
