P&C vs Life international opportunities

[Yoda]

P&C, Life and Health.... Which do you think has more overseas positions?

I understand that there's an expanding life insurance market in China, so they'll prolly need a lot of ASAs there. Switzerland = Reinsurance, Germany = Reinsurance + ASAs. Since laws differ in Europe, Asia, S. Africa, Scandinavia... , ACAS would not be of good use to them (higher exams are exams that test your knowledge of contracts, laws, stuff like that).

Huh?

I'm sorry if I offend any of you ACAS out there . But hey, it's just a generalization.

I think the question is a bit strange...do you mean, how many folks work in it overseas from you (presumably from North America), or how much opportunity is there for people like you to get these positions? Or even which industries have relatively larger overseas actuarial employee count than north american actuarial employee count?
And why do you split it into just the three categories above (P&C, Life, Health) but then start talking about Reinsurance as though it was another one (as it should be)?

I would say all three interpretations off your question have different answers. Please clarify.

Oh I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. I was asking the question in the context that if one is a recent U.S. college grad and wants to go abroad to work, is he gonna be able to find a job easier in the P&C industry or in the life industry? Also note that reinsurance can be life or P&C or both.
