Please elaborate on how the actuarial profession is a fall-back field. I sincerely would like to know. And perhaps, your two cents as to why you "fell back" to the actuarial world if you are indeed in it. From my own perspective, I majored in Mathematics, taking all sorts of math classes. They really opened my eyes to the world of Math, quite fascinating to say the least, but only caught my attention for that long, since it turned out to be very 1 dimensional in the long run, ala I don't really want to spend the next 30 years of my life on a few problems, but rather, combine many skills to become a successful actuary.

![]() So I guess you're excluding virtually all recent (and even some of the old-timers) Canadian actuaries. Pretty much everyone here seems to come out of an actuarial math/science program. And it seems to me that if you major in that it's not really a fall-back field!

As much as the exams suck, I don't feel like I put in that much more time than other hard working friends of mine. And hopefully the burden of exams will be in the rear-view soon. |
