JC Consulting just hired a new summer intern in his first year of college to gather social media information about the company. The intern wants to be called a “data scientist.” Is this an appropriate title for the intern?

a. Yes. Data scientists deal with big data from social media feeds so anyone who is working with social media is also a data scientist.

b. No. Data scientists typically have post-graduate degrees in statistics or math.

c. Yes. The title of data scientist can be appropriately applied to anyone who works in the data industry.

d. No. You must be skilled in Hadoop to be appropriately given the title of “data scientist.”
