The appropriate knowledge can be acquired if you put in effort. This information is useful for those deciding whether the effort is worth it.

What exactly are the qualifications? I would have thought a serious, sustained study of statistics--starting with a strong base knowledge of the mathematics of probability and building from there. But based on the resumes I've seen that doesn't seem to be the common opinion.
