After I graudate, Im thinking of going into actuarial work. This is pretty wierd for me since I have my bachelors in Electrical Engineering (UCLA) and I'm currently working on my masters in EE (USC) as well. Although my masters is in EE, I am structuring it around actuarial work. Im taking probability, statistics, estimation theory, stochastic processes, chaos and fractals, etc. I'm planning on taking my first actuarial exam in the spring and hopefully i can find a relevant internship for the summer. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Good for you man. I find that kind of stuff really interesting. Unfortunitely, my (Work Ethic)(Math Talent) ain't high enough to do it.

Kudos.

ActuaryTm should be able to give you some thoughts on it (Thought I can't speak for him).

Well, I started to think about it, but then it started to hurt.

I think just the thought of exams after exams after exams is what turns people off....so I mean for me, I either do graduate school, or concentrate 100% on the exams.....

Being an actuary is really lame. Such a very narrow field. Try Operations Research - you can do everything an actuary can and MORE!
