I have being job hunting for a bit and an actuary position just came to mind. I just got my degree in physics so I'm obviously good at math. Not just calc, linear algebra, and diffy equations, but also statistics and probability. couldn't get a math minor because I hated writing proofs.
But I have no experience in economics and business. Nor financial courses taken. Not even an intro to macro/micro ecomonics for a general education requirement (I took history instead of an economics class). How much of that stuff is involved with being an actuary?
Is becoming an actuary just passing a bunch of incredibly hard exams, nonetheless of what your college education is? Do I need prior experience in something to become one?
