an angel Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 http://www.beanactuary.org/ I :heart: my job I'm too lazy to look through that site, just explain what they do in a sentence or two :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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.

an angel Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NumbersGirl Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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?"

an angel Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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:" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Kat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 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.

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last semester I looked at Westminster based/domestic politics which I found really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crests Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
