I'm loving probability and information theory. Learn these well and get yourself a 500k ML job.

I have the same feeling about Tasmania. I have no idea what it is like there, but I am sure that it has to be boring.

Every stats lover I ever knew always had an agenda behind their interest. Wanting to use stats to prove some personal narrative, which is kinda the big cancer with the field as a whole

If you find statistics boring, you are applying it to a boring field. Statistics can be fun if you are using it for interesting research questions.

No stats is cool. I like the optimization problems. Very interesting to see how a process with like 10 factors can be reduced to only 3-4 important ones.

This. I found stats courses boring, but I love applying them. One recent example I encountered was the use of the chi square to evaluate the goodness of a fit, interesting and useful topic.

Now you talk about statistics as if it is all about applied statistics. How about the theory of statistics? That is the exciting stuff.
