What are the different kinds of professions related to data?

Data is the new world right now. Data is the most expensive thing in the world right now. I am definitely not talking about the Facebook case, just kidding. But why data Is so important? As you can see, whenever we are using some apps or web browsers, we are generating a ton of data. Let me give you a 1000% effective example. 
Rewind or your year's journey which the company gives at the end of the year. like Spotify, they will show you how many songs you had played this year, how many artists you had played, what genre you like most, which song you played many times, like all the details. 
Now you can imagine what amount of your data they have based upon your usage. They can use these all data to advertise a particular album or product to generate their revenue. This is why the data field is getting bigger and bigger all the time and it is becoming more important.



The whole system of bringing data in to convert it into useful information is called a data ecosystem. It can be anything like detecting financial fraud, social media mining, reading customers' buying habits, etc. The people who run this ecosystem are called the data professionals. The data ecosystem is very huge so, there are different types of professionals for different kinds of work.
