Actuarial process

[thebesthelp]

Hey everyone. I am being realistic and maybe a little pessimistic. You see, I would like to think that I can make it through the exam process. The reality of it is that there are A LOT of exams and they are difficult. Time is not on my side, either. Let's say I pass a few exams, say, three. Or let's say I make it to ASA or ACAS. Is it then okay to throw in the towel? I mean, will there be positions for those who make it that far. I am just so confused right now because I don't want to isolate myself from my family yet I want to succeed. I think it would be smarter to know ahead of time what I am getting myself into than to get too far in and say, what the hell happened? I will have few friends, no close ties with family and such. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks so much.
