Data Analyst is not the same thing as a Data Scientist.

Here's what bothers me.

When I see Data Science in industry, it means an analyst. When I see Data Science in academia, I see Michael Jordan and Alex Smola. I think this is the core disconnect.

Not even close. But ugh, it is sort of getting there as far as what inflated titles are being offered/used. Going to be as watered down as today's "DBA" vs 20 years ago "DBA" at this rate.
True. The comment I responded to specifically referred to Senior Data Analyst.
