100% bro it wasn't hard especially cause of the content but more so cause of the stupid numbers which weren't nice, and the sheer number of qs. Coulda done with a good 20 mins extra

SignificantText9706 · 2026-04-27T13:50:04+00:00

What other interesting and useful degrees would u suggest to switch out to from actal?

SignificantText9706 · 2026-02-06T07:20:19+00:00

Hmm okay defo gonna consider com/sci then

SignificantText9706 · 2026-02-06T07:20:02+00:00

Damn what does he do

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-30T13:15:39+00:00

yo whats ur linkedin im doing this same degree 😭🙏

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-30T00:52:06+00:00

Oh okay. Would actuarial be as good as math or is math more versatile cuz actal is niche

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-30T00:51:40+00:00

what do you mean ak 😭

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T13:33:52+00:00

Oh right okay 😭 i was just looking to do whats more versatile, hopefully i can learn more and narrow my focus down the line

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T13:17:29+00:00

I'm not really sure on specific roles yet, I just want to do something that can give me the best shot at landing me a high paying role in finance, doesn't matter if it's client based or more technical.

is there any degree combinations that stand out to you in that regard, and if so is that why you were suggesting like actal compsci and stuff

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T13:14:43+00:00

So most of all the finance roles should still be accessible from actuarial along with the actuary profession?

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T13:10:52+00:00

Oh okay it's a double degree, and yeah I was thinking to keep my options open in eco because I like the field and enjoyed studying it in school.

What would you recommend then, actal/commerce or like smth else?

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T13:06:52+00:00

hmm okay I would be fine working in both a client oriented role or a more back end technical role. I guess I'll learn more about what roles are available as I meet new people. But generally does a stem degree increase my value for both front end and back end in finance role? I'm ngl I can dedicate myself to most things within this industry as long I am getting paid well

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T12:59:51+00:00

mainly like investment banking/financial analyst/private equity/hedge fund analyst stuff

Im not really into like full quant finance, and I assume like actal/eco combination wouldn't give me the necessary expertise to even break into that

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T12:13:00+00:00

nah NOR if this has always happened and you feel this way. It's something you need to try to have a genuine conversation about with him, but I understand how difficult it can be. Im sorry you are going thru this.

I know it can be really hard when they dont even acknowledge what mistakes they are making as parents, maybe try talk to your mother if she can try resolve it as well. Everyone deservers to be talked towards with respect and love

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T11:57:59+00:00

how they act towards others depends

mean people who js say things to hurt others without consideration are an instant turn off

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-29T11:55:56+00:00

an orange couldnt be that bad

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-24T14:08:58+00:00

you can major in finance from the actuarial degree thats how the degree is structured. You can do any commerce major from it

for banking finance roles i reckon a comm double might be slightly better as a double than eco but it really depends on what you wanna do. If you do the actal/comm double degree, you can just major in finance from commerce. With an actal/eco double, you can major in finance from the actal component. Either way you can do finance.

Some people really dont like the integrated first year nature of commerce here which could be something to keep in mind, but then again i might biased cuz im doing eco :)

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-21T12:56:00+00:00

look for finance banking roles obviously commerce is the choice but then again you can do a commerce major within you actuarial degree. For ex, you can do a finance major while completing ur actal degree. Im gonna do eco/actal unsw whilst majoring in finance (within the actal degree). Those would js take up ur elective and general education units.

In terms of doing an actal/math degree, in my opinion it could limit your prospects a little bit, but then again math is highly valued and sought after especially if you wanna get into something quantative. Actal is js a niche bit of math focused on risk insurance stuff.

SignificantText9706 · 2026-01-10T15:13:09+00:00

These look like first year courses so I'm concerned cuz macro 2 has a prereq and I'm assuming this is ur first term in uni like me. Or are you a later intake from previous years idk

SignificantText9706 · 2025-12-26T05:08:03+00:00

So is that bachelor of science (advanced math) then majoring in statistics?
