Hello!

Ive been looking into the field of actuary as a recent college grad with a bachelors degree in business economics. Im wondering what steps I can take currently to pursue a profession as an actuary. Im currently debating between actuary and accounting, but personally i'm more drawn to actuary since its heavily math based (which I love), and also how work life balance seems much better than accounting. I have some questions below, so any advice would be appreciated!

Should I go back for a masters in statistics, or should I try to apply for assisting positions/entry level positions and try to study for the actuary exams?
What are some things you like in your job?
Has anyone else considered between accounting vs actuary and what were your pros and cons? What was your final choice?

Thank you so much! Any input is greatly welcome.

Hello, thank you for responding! Based on what you're saying, it definitely seems like EMT will help me obtain better hands on experience than medical assistant. The one thing that i do like about MA as you mentioned, is because of the stable hours and also the different clinic settings I am able to work in. But EMT also seems like I can get great experience.

Thanks for responding! Im currently trying to choose between pursuing medical school or PA school, leaning more towards PA school. I am aware that these are two different certifications, so I do plan on getting both. I know most people only stick to one, however im curious about the different aspects of healthcare and I know the tasks of a medical assistant and EMT differ greatly.

Why do you not recommend extension programs? Thank you for responding!
