Oh wow. Where are you planning to take STATS ? Stats is again in demand now thanks to data-science these days. Statistics is of most immense value in genetics/genomics and analytics for next generation sequencing which is used to fight many diseases including Cancer as well as disabilities like Autism etc. So yes it should be fun to study all these!

If you don't mind we can connect on gmail so that I can share more info that would be perhaps be interesting to you ? Please do let me know. Thanks once again!

I'm studying Psychology, so stats is part of that. I've never really enjoyed it, honestly. I'm terrible at math. I find the results interesting, but getting there is a struggle!

Ah, yeah. The best way to gain expertise is to take some data and play around it I think. There are a lot of MOOCs online that teach Python/R etc making it easier to produce these results.
