1) As stated, switch to VEEs and other non-exam items. This presents a problem if the student is in a program that has coursework to correspond with the VEEs. 2) Pick a society and go all in. In this case, I suspect the SOA would see a boon in the short term. Most students and career changers will want to maximize their opportunity for employment while avoiding swapping societies and incurring additional exams. Right or wrong, they might lean toward and early SOA selection due to the General Insurance pathway option. 3) Obtain earlier internships, or begin doing an internship "rotation" to determine which practice area you are interested in. This could decrease employment options, but it would let a student avoid changing societies mid-stream. 4) Companies either do away with internships completely, or wait until a candidate has made a society choice before hiring an intern/entry level person. Note these are from the US point-of-view. Other countries with their respective societies and/or industry culture could be vastly different.

My take is that the CAS wants P&C actuaries to have exposure to the specialty without getting too bogged down. Sorta feels like swimming across a trench and glancing down before swimming on. |

That's the reactive argument. Of course there is the equally as important proactive argument which is that these tools just ARE better for much of the work we do (specifically reserving and class ratemaking) and we should be teaching them so that 90% of the next generation of actuaries (who are starting their
