So go ahead: put "Data Scientist" on your resume. It may get you additional calls from recruiters, and maybe even a spiffy new job, where you'll be the King or Queen of a rotting whale-carcass of data. And when you talk to Master Data Management and Data Integration vendors about ways to, er, dispose of that corpse, you'll realize that the "Big Data" vendors have filled your executives' heads with sky-high expectations (and filled their inboxes with invoices worth significant amounts of money). Don't be the data scientist tasked with the crime-scene cleanup of most companies' "Big Data"—be the developer, programmer, or entrepreneur who can think, code, and create the future.
