Career: Actuary?

Never even heard of this profession until a friend told me about it a few months ago. Then, for some reason, I looked it up tonight and thought that it does sound like an awesome career. Now, I'm not a huge fan of math so it seems pretty dumb that I would even think about something like this, then again, I haven't had any math courses in awhile so I don't know if that's changed. The thing I really love about it is that it's one of those few careers that is a mixture of a vareity of fields. It's mostly mathematics, but also includes business, computer science, economics, writing, etc. Not to mention they make kickass money. Hmmm... I have to take a calculus class the summer so we'll see how I feel about it after that, lol.

i work for a reinsurance company, and you don't need math skills...i can tell you that. just kiss someone's arse.

know how to work excel macros, start by becoming a lowly underwriter. i see a lot of losers in companies like Guy Carp, Kemper, AIG, Marsh, etc...

Yeah, you'll do more math than just about everyone (including engineers), so if you're not a big fan of it, or aren't that good at it, you'll probably not even want to bother.
