Holy Crap I Passed

Well I took my first giant step toward a career change today when I passed the first actuarial exam on my first try. It's been 7 years since I graduated college so it took me a while to get the hang of studying but I did it. It was by far the toughest exam I have ever taken in my life but a little easier than I thought it would be.

Hooray for school! Hooray for me!!!

Anybody know of anyone hiring actuaries???

Give me a few details on P1. How many questions? Is it all probability? Did you study on your own or did you take classes?

30 questions = 3 hrs.
All probability and calculus.
I started studying on my own in July and used 2 manuals: Dr Guo's manual and the ASM manual.
 
What's the difference between an American actuary and and Italian one?


The American can tell you how many people will die in the next year and the Italian one can name them!

How can you tell which actuary is the extrovert?


He's the one looking at your shoes!

Actuary. They work with probabilities. Example: The age you're going to die to do the cost of health insurance for companies.

I was a Math major with a double emphasis in statistics and applied mathematics.

Starting 50-75K

3-5 years 75-100K

10+ years I've seen jobs as high as 160-200 K

Considering I make 30 K a year now it will be a slight salary increase
