There was a thread on the TD OT about actuaries a few weeks ago. Apparently, it's extremely hard to break into that field, and the certifications needed are expensive and very challenging.

Nothing beats working ~15 hours a week and being able to afford everything without any problem.

very good career.
hope you're a math wiz, though.
all the actuaries i've met were extremely smart, and frankly, a little weird.

I was always real good with math in high school and college. I'm sure this would be alot more challenging but I think I could do it with enough work.

No I know, it's just a joke. It's my default answer for anyone asking about work.

What interests you? Commodities could be an easy next step if you like to get out of the office. The industry would be less political on your end.

It's same everywhere else.

From what I've read it can take 4-6 years on average to get fully certified to be an actuary. Most people start taking exams during their undergrad years.
I think you can do the job once you pass the first two tests, albeit with far less (but still pretty good) income.
