Default Business Cards

This is probably not that important or maybe a stupid question but I currently work at a small p&c company in a non-actuarial position and when I try and network I've been asked if I had a business card. I am printing a few but wasn't sure if I should put my current position and company or just actuarial student and my home address and phone number?

Your company should give you business cards.

business cards should have business contact info on it. so networking through work, hhave a card with work contact on it. never personal (other than mobile if you want that there).

company won't pay-ask what it costs and if you care that much buy some.

Use your current title, but ask your company/firm to provide the cards to avoid any trouble.
