I :heart: my job

 

I'm too lazy to look through that site, just explain what they do in a sentence or two :wacky:

Oooh, that'll be kinda hard but I'll try.

 

One-sentence explanation pulled out of my arse: Actuaries assess risk by reviewing prior experience (statistics) to determine the potential of that risk (probability) in the future and the cost associated to cover that risk.

 

Or something like that. The fields they can work in are insurance, health care, finance/investments, retirement/pensions (me), government... and lots of other fields.

I see, thanks for explaining :wacko:

It sounds kind of interesting, I'm just not sure if that's what I really want to do. But I guess I don't really have that many choices, I just know for sure that I'm not going to be a teacher :tongue:

I can't picture the cat as a teacher :uhoh:

I would suck as a teacher :wreck:

When I was in college and people asked me what I was studying, to keep it simple I just said 'math' and 94% of the time they were like, "oh, so you're going to be a teacher?"

 

HELLZ NOEZ I'M NOT :veryangry:

People ask me that too.

 

And then they ask me what I'm going to do with a math degree and I just say "I don't know. :bucktooth:"

I'm gonna study Psychology in University but I really don't want to teach it seriously why do people always assume you are going to teach it in schools?

Actuarial Science is hard D:

 

I liked it :wacky:

 

one of my friends did actuary for 2yrs before dropping out. he is brilliant with maths but couldn't handle it anymore. so unless you have an incredible passion for maths and a talent to go with that passion, don't do it.

Medicine, two years left.

Not sure. . . either

 

1. Psychology

I'm almost a sociologist now :wacky:

 

Studied sociology for a year last year. Incredibly interesting but I had to drop it to pursue a history and politics degree. Even though it was only a year it was a brilliant eye opening experience. Political history is my strong point though.

Yeah, that's good logic :awesome: The only reason we learn math is to teach math

@numbersgirl, if you tell that you were studying math i would be all surprised :wacky: for me every one that studies math are genius :wacky::laugh4: thats the only subject i never pass at school :shame:

 

I only did highschool, but to be honest, today i regret it hehe but well... is never too late to go back to study right?

I studied a B.Sc. and M.Sc. of biology

I almost studied political sciences but after taking some classes it wasn't what i was looking for, it was interesting anyway, I really like international politics

I'm looking at international politics right now but it's something that I just can't get into yet. Last semester I looked at Westminster based/domestic politics which I found really interesting.

I like immigration.

WAT

 

So, like, you want to let people in and out of Canadia?

 

(yes Canadia was intentional)

I actually never thought of that.

 

Maybe, I was far too interested in the unit on it in school last year, might be something I could be good at and interested in enough to do. :surprised:
