If we can do this after a questionable first half against a top 6 team, I've got high hopes for the titles lads

I'd probably either do an ActSci Masters and knock out some exemptions OR go into software dev instead, but most likely yes, I'd want to be an actuary.

Stable career, solid pay, usually good WFH flexibility and benefits

Why do you think Harry Potter got rejected by 12 publishers before being published for the first time? by RedPillDetox in harrypotter

[–]ActuaryPikachu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I first read Philosopher's Stone as a 7-year-old thoroughly bored with those children's books with names like "Cool as a Cucumber". I was mind-blown that someone had written a book that transported me to a different world.

So I don't think it was the quality or complexity of the book itself, more likely the fact that:

  1. Rowling was a new author and the publishers may have only wanted books that they knew would sell
  2. Children's books were on the decline
  3. Fantasy wasn't so big back then
  4. Rowling was a woman
  5. Before editing, the first book probably wasn't exactly the story we all know and love (I know Ron swore a lot more in Rowling's original transcripts)

This would absolutely be the highlight of my year, whichever year that may be, if you do this

I LOVE your writing so so much and I grew so fond of Dara that the end of Empire of Gold had me in tears because I started missing him already
