informative websites

[Eeyore]

do you know of any interesting and not too complicated websites that describe what an actuary's role is? it's for a friend, no really :smile:

[Dr T Non-Fan]

Your request is too restrictive. The result is the null set.
"interesting" AND "not too complicated" AND "describe what an actuary's role is" = {}

Try:
http://www.casact.org
http://www.actuary.org
http://www.soa.org

Good luck. I think we all have trouble describing our jobs. I just say it's all classified.

This is a fairly concise description from Purdue, but I think Pillow's "bean actuary" site is the best. Despite the unfortunate web address.

That's "be an actuary", not "bean actuary"! :lol:

[Pillow]

there's a difference? :lol:
