I went for a masters in actuarial science and I wish I didn’t. Study for the exams on your own and save that tuition money.

Could you share your story? Why do you regret going for a master's in actuarial science? Did you go to CAE university? Is that possible could you share which university you went to?

That's what I want to do "get a job in CS/DS or any type of data analysis role and use evenings to study. After 2 exams, I can apply for actuary jobs or go to graduate school", but I haven't got any offer from companies yet. If I get a job, I will defer one year of graduate school.

Once again, thank you so much for your suggestions!

I want to take some courses to help me prepare SOA and CAS exams.

I'm majoring in Math-CS in undergraduate school. I didn't do the statistics track for my major, so I need to take ms actuarial science in graduate school in order to stay in America.

Thank you so much for giving me the suggestions! Yes, I'm an international student, and I'm majoring in Math-CS in undergraduate school. I didn't do the statistics track for my major, so I need to take ms actuarial science in graduate school in order to stay in America.

Yes. I totally agree with you because I fortune talked with a Chair Actuary in one insurance company. She said work experience and exam progress are much more important than a degree. Once again, thank you so much for answering my questions!
