03.31.14 | wow, interesting
my parents told me to become an actuary since I liked math (lol) but I decided to go into engineering instead
are you becoming an actuary or are you just taking an actuarial course? |
Sleaper
03.31.14 | actuarial studies is a core for any commerce degree.
I major in marketing, so maths is something im not comfortable with.
Engineering is fascinating, actuarial studies is dryer than the Sahara desert |

03.31.14 | Its those guys that decide whether you get insurance or not based on stats, a bit like the chaps who rig the casino so the house always wins but in this case it's an insurance company.
Risk management is huge though and away from actuarial stuff it's not totally boring and can earn you a massive income working for investment banks calculating trading limits so it could be very profitable to pursue that if you can handle it. |

03.31.14 | Its the guys that make the rates not the guys that determine who gets insurance. That would be Underwriters |
