Default Random Pondering...

Seems like from other forums/discussions within the AO that there are a lot of retirement consulting types, yet in the CSP subforums, we have a lot less threads and posts. Is the material just more straightforward so there are less questions? Or are people just too busy with work to ask their questions?

Looking at the SOA stats at http://www.soa.org/files/pdf/edu-arc...er-results.pdf it doesn't look like there's a lot less people taking the retirement exams...

And that's my random pondering before I start studying seriously Monday.

I decided to stick to 2B this sitting, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of people too busy to post.

Probably also a function of these questions being much more acceptible to talk about at work, as opposed to math questions where people tend to dodge. Also, the Edge has a google group that probably takes away from the outpost, b/c I've been seeing daily posts through that option.
