I never took stats in college and am now going back to school for a total career change into psychology/ABA. The MS program doesn't require stats, either..although I see some other do. How helpful/necessary is it to know statistics for real world work?

One general stats course should be helpful but not necessary. ABA requires very basic task analysis sheets and some HS stats... for more advanced psychology applications an additional grad stats course or two is necessary. For real research Calc I and maybe Calc II with math major stats is needed; just saying for perspective...
