well.. is anyone?
I've been interested in finance/accounting ever since i first studied it at school 3 years ago. maths has always been a strong interest and area of enjoyment - it fascinates me no end. looking through the courseguide for where i plan to study in 2004, a specialisation is Actuarial Studies, and has me very interested, as it combines both my loves - accounting and maths.
the digging and questioning i've been doing has basically told me - its a tough course, and isnt for the weak, with a high drop out rate.
i'd like to think i'd be upto par, i topped the state for finance, and was in the top 2% for accounting, and in the top 2% for the hardest maths available at a highschool level.
for anyone who is an actuary - how do you find the career? any info you could give me about getting there - how stressful the work is, is it difficult to find work? etc.. anything at all.
Thanks
